Re: Prop 36 completed,then violated
According to the statute, people are allowed up to three tries in the Prop. 36 program before they are sent to jail. However, there are a number of factors that could alter this. For instance, your plea agreement indicated you would only get one try or the county/judge you deal with has different type of program. The only way for you to get a firm answer is to hire a lawyer. You should hire a local attorney and provide this person with all the relevant information about your case.

Jail, probably; unless you can somehow persuade the court to reinstate probation. I suggest you hire counsel to help you. Feel free to contact me if you get serious about doing so, if the case is in SoCal courts.
