Felon Charged, but Wants to Go to Drug Court?

Question by Angel Stokes: Felon charged, but wants to go to Drug Court?
Please don’t judge, just answer… 🙁
We live in Kentucky.
My husband broke probation, it was a charge that he took for his ex, because of their kids.. and it was drug related.

When we met, he changed his phone number, quit doing drugs, etc.
Anyhow, my husband is an idiot. And, His old friends started getting his number… and long story short. He is now in jail for xanax and (Possible) theft. He had taken 95 xanax in one week. And doesn’t remember much at all.
Let’s give him the benefit of a doubt here. He regrets what he did (because of our family, not because he’s stuck in jail) and truly wants to change.
