Are Violent and/or Serious Offenders Eligible
for Drug Court?
The answer is "No". Almost
all
Drug Courts exclude offenders charged
with
sales of drugs, possession for sale
of drugs,
or other serious offenses.
Funding under the Crime Bill excludes
participation
by any offender that has been charged
with
a violent offense or who has a prior
conviction
for a violent crime, except domestic
violence.
