Default Is your LO in for drugs?
I'm curious to know how many of your loved ones on here are in prison for drug related charges?
If they are, what is their sentence, how long have they served, and how many times have they been up for parole?

Thank you!

which is why, just as when looking at parole approval statistics, one must look at more than just the numeric sentence. Critical thinking is an absolute must when viewing and discussing such things...

Me and my family talk about this all the time. But anyway, my husband caught a new charge while on parole. 65 years on the old charge (drug related) and 18 years on the new charge, possession of a controlled substance. First went in on 1-2-08, was denied parole twice and made it third time with an FI-6R.
