Descripción:

A special court that is given responsibility to treat sanction and reward drug offenders with punishment more restrictive than regular probation but les severe than incarceration. Drug courts are for drug users. Drug courts try to get offenders treatment by ordering offenders to attend rehab or counseling as part of the conditions of their punishment. Drug offenders are treated as having a disease as part of the reason they commited their crimes and therefore deserve treatment over punishment. In my opinion this is one of the most abused forms of intermediate sanction. Offenders often time use this as an escape from incarceration with no intention of changing their ways.
