Jaime has just pled guilty to cocaine possession. At first she claimed that the drugs weren't hers but figured the judge might be lenient if he knew that she had fought with cocaine addiction since she was 14 years old. Her parents are in the public spotlight and the publicity was just too much for her to handle so she left home when she was 16, certain that she could make it on her own. After living on the streets addicted to anything she could get her hands on, she finally went back home to seek help from her parents who put her in rehab about 6 months ago. Jaime was sentenced to a $2,000 fine, 300 hours of community service, and 2 months of intensive outpatient drug treatment. Even though she was going to get help, Jamie felt like her sentence was a waste of time. Jaime has relapsed

and she knows that her probation officer is going to violate her probation for it, but she tells him anyway. He suggests that they try treatment again but inpatient instead of outpatient treatment this time around. Afterward, she will likely participate in what to help give her probation more structure? A. Day fines to maintain employment B. Sentencing circles such as Narcotics Anonymous C. Day reporting center to report for supervision and treatment D. House arrest to receive treatment
