I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what exactly is the crime-bill program and how it helps? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think that this would be better if put in your state forum. Im not sure as to what bill you are talking about, but in your state forum, im sure someone will come along with all the info you need! Good luck!

Moving this to Alabama... I'm sure someone will come along and help.

Best of luck,

CRIME BILL = SAP....substance abuse progam....it's a relapse prevention class....i believe there is a short class..4 to 6 weeks...then there is also a 12 week program...i think!!

E's girl....by the way welcome to PTO...(my guy is at Bibb too)...i'm looking forward to getting to know you here at PTO...

Welcome to PTO!

The Crime Bill is a drug rehab that federally funded. Alabama loves to send people through it, because they get federal bucks for each prisoner that goes through the program. My husband was in the second or third class way back when. From what I understand, there's now a long, long waiting list to get into the Crime Bill program.

Welcome to PTO From me too!!!
I have a daughter in prison at Tutweler and I am rasing her daughter for the last 4 1/2 yrs.

My fiance has been at bibb about 2 months and now they have put him in the crime bill program. He applied for it about a month ago and got in it last thursday. From what he tells me he can go straight ot work release after he finishes crime bill instead of going to an honor camp. Is that right?

I did not know it was a drug rehab program becuase he has never done drugs in his life.

my boyfriend was in there on totally unrelated charges to drugs as well (obstruction of justice) and they sent him through it anyway.....regaurdless if hes on drugs or not joe thinks its best if everyone go through the class it really is a good program drugs or not. he was immediately paroled upon completion of this program. welcome to PTO

Welcome E's.From my understanding it offers like anger mangement,drug rehab and basically from what I've been told it's just about whatever they offer all rolled into one package.

I have been where my guy is at that there was several guys up for parole that got set off because they didn't go thru the SAP program.

He was sentenced to 3 years and has only did 6 months(4 months was at county). Is there a chance that he could get paroled early? Do you even get parole with only three years?

YOu can get parole with only 3 years. My exs min. date was only 2 years and he went up for parole after serving only 5 months, but was denied I am not sure why he was denied cause he sure isn't going to tell me since he lied about everything else.

Anyway I hope you figure what you need to know.
By the way welcome to PTO.
