I am paying for him to have commissary and phone, but he qualifies for public defender. I could never afford a private attorney. He had 2 chances for drug court but didn't take either one. He may get a reduced sentence or if he is lucky he may serve in a rehab/halfway house of sorts.

He wants to go straight, he is just having a hard time. He has great welding skills, but he also has a record which makes it harder to get a job. He also smokes pot so he wouldn't' pass the drug test with out staying off of it.

He does try to do a lot for me, but he always feels like he needs to be the one to fix everything, even if it isn't his responsibility. He also seems to have make money schemes, some of which aren't completely legal. (not get rich quick, but still not a good idea)
