In 2006 I was charged with violating and order of protection. I was placed on unsupervised probation and ordered to complete 32 DV classes. Then in 2007 I was also charged with violating a protection order and sentenced to 5 days in jail, unsupervised probation and another 32 classes. I knew that this new charge was going to violate my original unsupervised probation so I did the most irresponsable thing possible and just went under the radar. Now in January, over three years later, I was arrested and am facing court on the 26th for three counts of violating unsupervised probation - one for the similar charge and one each for the two DV classes I never completed. Do you think there is any chance of suspended sentance/supervised probation or any other alternative to jail time? I haven't had any new charges in years, and in the interviening time I've gotten married, bought a house, have a newborn and am active in AA - so I'm 100% sober. I think I'm screwed, but I'm hoping that this does not destroy my now-meaningful life.

Oh... and if it matters, this is in Phoenix, AZ...

If your life is meaningful now, it'll still be that way after you get out of tent city.

No chance then huh? Any idea if I'm looking at a few weekends vs. months?

Hello again, band:

Well, I don't think you're the Unibomber or anythng, but you'll probably do a month in the tents. Say hello to Joe.
