    Default Re: A Special Case

    Factor VIII Advate, about 1$ a unit and i need 4000 units, 3x a week. I have health Insurance, but i could easily drop it and pick it back up after i got out. I know its kind of ****ed up, but Im sure that would be a major incentive to not lock me up. Besides, if they refused it to me, Id have a means to sue the city and that seems to be pretty lucrative these days. Im not looking for a handout, i just want my life back.

    You're overthinking this.

    Get a lawyer, or don't, and then go to court, post the bond, and go in front of the judge. This isn't aggravated murder, it's a probation violation. Just get this behind you.

    "Just want your life back". Then handle your business - you act as if this has all been put on you by somebody other than yourself. And I'm still laughing about your two days of "hard time". You should write a book!

    come on, any jail time is hard time guys,,, in fact, I would say being in a county lock up would be harder compared to a prison, he probably only got a mat to sleep on in some open area with 20 other people, at least in a prison you get your own bed and toilet. but im no expert on jail or prisons lol

    You're quite the special snowflake aren't you. They jail people with serious illnesses, worse than yours even, all the time. It's actually pretty rare that illness is a deterrent to incarceration.

    Thanks to everyone who enjoyed my post. I do appreciate it. Has anyone ever seen a similar situation unfold? Do you merry band of Law Enforcement Gurus think I'll get be made to do the 28 days or perhaps reinstate my probation? Or do you think they'll chain me up and flog me publicly? Anyone?

    Most likely you'll have to spend 28 days in jail, that's SOP for people who breach probation.

    The judge doesn't pay your medical bills, and isn't going to be influenced by your suggestion that the county would have to bear the cost -- such a suggestion is the opposite of contrition, and it might inspire him to go harder on you. Further, in jail you would ensure that you get, at best, Medicaid-level care for your condition. People with serious medical conditions have died in jail. You don't want to place yourself in that type of risk -- you should be working out with your lawyer how you can ensure continuity of care and prompt access to your medications in case you are incarcerated, not attempting the opposite.

    Your disposition will depend on many factors, and could range from being resentenced to a greater period of incarceration to being ordered to complete your original sentence (whether through the suspended jail time, continued probation, or some combination of jail and probation) or even being discharged as a violator without additional incarceration. It's important to work with your lawyer, in light of the policies of the court and prosecutor as well as the likely position of the probation department, to try to position you for the most favorable outcome.

    The judge can very easily order you to pay for it yourself, given that you have insurance. (In fact if you present this smartass "better not put me in jail 'cause it's gonna cost you big time in meds!" scenario to the judge, he/she very likely will order you to pay for it yourself - judges generally react pretty negatively to childish pissant threats like this.) And then if you are sentenced to jail and drop your insurance, that's on you, you won't have cause to sue. (And anyway do you have any idea how much it would cost to sue the city? A helluva lot more than the meds you didn't take while in jail.)

    Yeah, you're looking for a handout. You're just pissed off because we're saying you won't get one.
