An offender’s dream is to avoid jail, which is not always possible, but with public support, a new jail diversion program will increase their chances.

A program called Executive Treatment Solutions steers minor offenders toward change through rehabilitation to avoid incarceration. 

Many people in the United States face incarceration for low-level crimes, while unaware of an alternative option, according to EIN Presswire.

“When someone is charged with a DUI, drug offense, or even theft, the courts often want to see accountability, not just excuses,” according to ETS. 

ETS is a countrywide program approved by the court system that looks towards reform. The program teams defense attorneys up with people facing jail terms, the attorneys acting as a conduit between legal defense and behavioral reform.

ETS prepares a customized recovery plan, and presents it to the court as the best way to decrease the chances of a defendant re-offending, stated the news article.

The plans include a structured therapy program, drug and alcohol testing, and an educational plan. These rehabilitative measures have gained support from the public as alternatives to incarceration. 

This type of detailed plan can help attorneys create a powerful presentation helping their client advocate for jail diversion.

The program exists throughout the United States as a pre-trial alternative, a diversion from incarceration for people who meet the eligibility requirements. Many people never hear about this alternative until they have been imprisoned, noted the Presswire.

“Our job is to help clients show—with documentation, progress reports, and real commitment—that they’re doing the work to change,” according to Executive Treatment Solutions.

A person facing their first driving under the influence charge can receive a full dismissal, with ETS ensuring their client stays compliant, remaining on track to stay clean and sober.  

The reach of the program extends beyond a DUI, to include theft, drug possession, and mental health-related offenses, making it possible for people to qualify under state and county diversion laws, according to the news article.

The Pretrial Diversion Program’s purpose is to assist the court system that often is too busy or lacks the resources to enable rehabilitation. PDP’s mission is simple; help the client show the courts they’re serious about changing their lives.

“Most people just want a chance to fix their mistake and move forward. Diversion gives them that opportunity—if they know where to turn,” according to ETS.
