In 2009 i was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to 20 years in prison, all but 4 suspended. I pulled 4 years on the charge. It was from a store and i am non violent. My probation is the strictest thing i have ever heard of. The city of Danville has a "no tolerance " policy. Which means on my return i didn't complete a halfway house(voluntary) and was violated #1. I did 6 months. I got a drunk in public (found not guilty) and got violated #2. I got a dui/driving suspended #3. I did 4 months but was diagnosed bi polar 1. (I don't condone driving drunk btw and feel this violation was warranted. But it was my first and only ) Now i am court ordered to weekly drug screens , i must remain in therapy and take all prescribed meds, and remain in substance abuse counseling. Along with working and raising my kids...This is a lot considering i have no license. Anyway. .. My psychologists prescribed me a new med for my bipolar. It threw me into a manic phase like I've never had before. During the phase i smoked marijuana.(I don't hardly remember doing it.) I haven't had a dirty urine in 18 months of intensive probation and honesty can't say it was a choice i made in sound mind. My doctor wrote me a note explaining the medicine is known for causing manic episodes. My probation officer doesn't even want to submit the paper work. He knows i wouldn't have jeopardized my freedom like this but all the same he is ordered to report it, and is going to. This will be my 4th violation. I have pulled sooo much time behind the original charge, im almost up to a child porn sentence, or a manslaughter conviction time. Is there anything i can do?? When is enough enough? Is there a mercy rule or something? This is getting out of hand! I haven't committed a crime of poor moral judgment in almost 7 years. My criminal days are over. I am a guy trying to get it right, with a lot of problems. Isn't jail for dangerous people? I've seen stabbings, rapes, the whole 9 in that place. I have a great life and work hard to have it. I AM NOT PERFECT! I can't keep doing all this time. Its killing me.
