[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 470871, member: 2459"] So sorry to hear that but....you're not alone. I'm in roughly the same boat. My difficult child was sentenced this past February but will be out sooner than yours. However, the facility my difficult child is in has a "theraputic" side to it. From what I understand, that side is mostly for drug/alcohol rehab but I think it's also used to house kids like ours. It's not a cake walk but at the same time, it's not nearly as bad as general population. When he was first transferred from the county jail, he spent a few weeks at our state's reception/diagnostic center. There he was, I'm assuming, tested/interviewed to determine where he would be placed within the system. I would assume that all states have this process so I would also assume (or hope) that your difficult child will have a similar experience. Also, while I haven't used it, I found an online board similar to this one except it is for family/loved ones of inmates at that facility. When you are up to it, and you know where he is sent, you can google the facility to see if there is something like that. It's scary and heartwrenching but it is what it is. We have done everything we could to help our kids but in the end, they are the ones who have put themselves in this situation. Mine tells me everytime he calls that he realizes what he messed up. Whether or not that is the truth and will actually stick once he gets out....who knows. But....it will be up to them. Hugs to you all. [/QUOTE]
