Budget cuts force Oregon jail to give prisoners get-out-of-jail-free cards: A $100 million budget deficit in Oregon's Lane County has prompted the sheriff to release nearly 100 detainees and inmates from his jail, including several accused of killing people. Ninety-two prisoners were freed over three days this month as the jail closed a whole wing of its 507-bed facility. “It was horrifying,” says Lane County Sheriff Tom Turner. “All the effort to get those people into the jail is now gone, wasted.”

That is what they (the courts) usually do because Bill Wilson courted them (pun intended) and the Church of Alcoholics Anonymous at the Interchuch Center in New York keeps enabling them.

See; "The Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) "Corrections Committee" Prospect Hunting Trips " http://orange-papers.org/forum/node/675

"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.

JR Harris asks: "Are they sending them to ... AA or NA?" If they require it. That's their decision to make, not yours.
