Multiple Choice
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. What do you think is the most likely reason for Jaime's sentence
A) There is no room in jail for another drug offender.
B) Sentencing Jaime to a harsher punishment may embarrass her parents.
C) An attempt to help Jaime maintain the ties that she rebuilt with her family and community.
D) Restitution and community service is appropriate for a troubled drug offender.
