CASE A
John is a 29-year-old man who has been twice convicted of fraud by forging checks. His first conviction resulted in a sentence of five years on probation with an order to make restitution in the amount of $2.720. John made $230 each before absconding supervision. He turned up again after six months and was reinstated on probation by the court after he promised to faithfully fulfill the terms of his supervision and to complete his restitution obligation. During his supervised release, he was in violation of probation conditions regularly and never completed his restitution payments. The current case involves John passing a forged check at a local grocery store in the amount of $624. Due to his previous failure and noncompletion of probation, the court is concerned that he is not capable of following court ordered probation condition, yet it does not want to commit him to state prison or to a jail term because his offense is nonviolent. John has a wife and small children and is their only source of support. He has a high school diplomat he is not mental ill or disability, and he is currently employed as a house painter.
CASE B
Ricardo is a 23 years old identified gang member of the Mexican mafia, a Latino gang roots in California. He has a history of criminal offense including shoplifting one motor vehicle theft and tree DUI. Ricardo is not assaultive, but the group in which he is a member has been known to participate in assault violent acts. His file does not indicate his rank in the gang. But it shows he has been a confirmed member for at least six years. His current offense is larceny involving theft from his former employer a local carpet laying company. The PSI concludes that Ricardo needs more structure than can be gained from probation or intensive supervision, but it does not recommend a prison sentence due to his current nonviolent offense. The PSI reports that Ricardo needs to learn discipline good work habits, and respect for the rights of others and is concerned about his attitude authority.
