Recent Proposition 36 Commitments: Note: All cases wherein a defendant is sentenced per the terms of Proposition 36 are not at the request of the Tehama County Dis- trict Attorney's Office. Per the requirements of Propo- sition 36, a defendant who possesses drugs cannot be sentenced to confinement time in jail or prison. In- stead, the court must place defendant on probation and require drug treatment alone. Per the requirements of Proposition 36, only upon a third drug related proba- tion violation may the court impose confinement time. In the event the defendant violates a non-drug related term of probation the court may then elect to sentence defendant to jail or prison. The Tehama County Dis- trict Attorney's Office con- tends that each criminal case is unique and that in certain, specific, cases a defendant should be sen- tenced to a combination of drug treatment and jail time. We further contend that in other specific cases where a defendant has an extensive criminal record and/or a history of non- compliance with either pre- vious grants of probation or previous grants of drug treatment, a state prison sentence should properly be imposed.
