    Drug court vs. felonies
    I have a choice to make drug court or 2 felony points. I live in monroe wa and drug court would take place in tacoma wa. Its about an hour and a half drive. For drug court I would have to drive down there 2 times a week, drive whenever they call my color for drug testing and then do 4 NA classes a week in my own town. It would cost $1940 for drug court. Or I could take the two felony points, no probation, no other stipulations and it would cost $2400. But what is life like after a felony? Right now I can a great job, what about afterwards? I have a new baby to think about too! I hear getting a nice place to live in is hard once a felon, is it all worth it? I don't know what to do I just know I'm not meant to be a felon but I don't want to fail from being so far away from drug court location. And I can't move down there because the father of the baby was abusive and I have a no contact order and he lives down there. I moved back home to be away from him so I could live a better life! What to do what to do??

    Harder to get jobs, many jobs you can not longer do.

    Whole different ball of wax. You don't want to be a convicted felon. No rights at all.
