The DwI cases date back from 1979. He spent 10 years in prison which offerd him no help. If you want to call Safp offered by the TDC help. That is a joke. The counselors that TDC uses are inmates. My husband has admitted he is an alcoholic and has retained a highly reccommended addiction counselor. He has been sober for over a year and was senteced to 35 yrs on his last case. It looks like to me that the laws could be changed to allow people with the disease of alcholism who have admitted they are alcholics the option to wear the scram moniotrs, take the medication anabuse and do whatever is neccesary to over come the disease. My husband would be willing to pay the fees for the scram monitor and anabuse to be able to be a productive citizen, pay his child support and work. Not be locked up for the tax payers to pay for him to be incarcerated. The laws need to be changed to allow the millions of people with alcholism who have admitted they are and who can reamin sober with technology and counseling to be able to work and not be put in overcrowed prisons for the tax payer to have to pay for.
