You're 16.
The judge has reviewed your case and decides you�re a candidate for an alternative program. He offers you a choice. You can choose lockdown at the Youth Detention Center or you can join other juvenile offenders in Drug Court, an intensive six-month (or more) program that lets you live at home and attend school but requires you to show up for group sessions or call in to your probation officer at least daily, participate each week in a one-hour group session with the judge, complete required hours of community service and submit to random drug testing."
