Recent Proposition 36 Commitments Note: All cases wherein a defendant is sentenced per the terms of Proposi- tion 36 are not at the request of the Tehama County District Attorney's Office. Per the require- ments of Proposition 36, a defendant who possesses drugs cannot be sentenced to confinement time in jail or prison. Instead, the court must place defendant on probation and require drug treatment alone. Per the requirements of Proposi- tion 36, only upon a third drug related probation vio- lation 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 District Attorney's Office contends that each crimi- nal 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 previous grants of proba- tion or previous grants of drug treatment, a state prison sentence should properly be imposed. • Christopher Allen Ramos was sentenced to Prop. 36 probation for transportation of a con- trolled substance. An agent contacted Ramos on the streets after recognizing him to be a wanted parolee. A search was conducted and the agent located methamphet- amine and syringes in Ramos' backpack.
