My question involves criminal law for the state of: PA
I'm on PA state parole. I called my parole officer to inform her I had an alcohol problem and I'm seeking a medical detox because of the controlled substances I'm on for life, which made it difficult to find one. After 2 weeks of relentless phone calls and inquiries, I found the place. I completed the 5 day medical detox and went home. Her instructions were for the facility to inform her of my arrival and successful completion. I went from March 3rd to March 8th. She calls me the other day and says, where are you?. I say home. She says..."Home!". You should have called me when you got out. I informed her I followed her instructions to the letter. She comes to my house, and shows great annoyance I didnt call her. I said they were instructed to call you. She says, Thats not their job, you should have called. I said I had no reason NOT to call. I would have. SO, she says, well you have to go to outpatient counseling. I told her I'm sober now 34 days, I'm going to AA, I have phone numbers, and doing everything right. She says, well, its mandatory. I know of the place she sending me for outpatient and I cannot afford it. I'm on a fixed income, and barely make ends meet now. Can she force me into debt? She wouldl have never known I was drinking if I wasnt honest telling her.
