Drug Violations

The medical value of narcotics has been known since ancient times. Nearly all cultures have used drugs to treat illnesses or as part of religious rituals. When hypodermic needles were introduced in the mid-1800s, patients were originally encouraged to buy and treat themselves with a variety of powerful drugs. However, society’s view of drug use changed and the first narcotics laws began to appear in the early 1900s. In 1970, the federal government passed the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act that codified federal drug law into a uniform system. The act classifies drugs into five categories, listed in schedules, and establishes regulatory requirements and penalties for the misuse of the drugs on each schedule. The act also allows the United States Attorney General to add drugs to the schedules, if necessary.

The most severe restrictions and penalties involve Schedule I and II drugs. Schedule I drugs are those with a high potential for abuse, an absence of any medical use, and are dangerous to the user even under medical supervision. The most well known of these drugs are heroin, LSD, mescaline, marijuana, and peyote. Schedule II drugs have a high potential for abuse, a high potential for severe psychological or physical dependency, but a currently accepted medical use. Schedule II drugs include opium, cocaine, methadone, amphetamines, and methamphetamines. Schedule III drugs have less potential for abuse than Schedule II drugs, a potential for moderate psychological or physical dependency, and an accepted medical use. The most well-known schedule III drug is naline, which is used to detect narcotic use. Schedule IV drugs have less potential for abuse than Schedule III drugs, have a limited potential for dependency, and are accepted in medical treatment. These drugs include tranquilizers, meprobamate, chloral hydrate, most drugs that cause sleep, and sedatives. Schedule V drugs, which have a low potential for abuse, limited dependency, and accepted medical uses, include drugs with small amounts of codeine or other narcotics in them.

Drug offenses range from simple possession, to participation in an ongoing criminal enterprise, to manufacture and distribution of drugs. Simple possession requires that the offender knowingly and intentionally possess a scheduled drug without a valid prescription. The government must prove the offender knew the drug was a controlled substance and had either actual possession of it, or other control over it, either alone or with another. The federal sentencing guidelines provide for a maximum of one year in prison for a first offender, a maximum of two years in prison for a second offender, and a maximum of three years in prison for a third or higher offender. The sentence for possession of more than five grams of crack cocaine is increased to a minimum of five years in prison, even for first offenders. There may also be a fine imposed.

Manufacturing, delivering, or possessing with intent to deliver a controlled substance is a crime with escalating penalties depending on the drug involved, the quantity of the drug and the offender’s prior record. For example, a first offender convicted of possessing with intent to deliver 100 grams to five kilograms of heroin will receive a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and up to forty years. Three crimes, distributing controlled substances to persons under twenty-one years of age, distributing controlled substances near a school, and using persons under age eighteen to violate drug laws, are penalty-enhancement crimes for which the sentence is double or triple what it would otherwise be for distributing that particular amount and type of drug. The offense of continuing criminal enterprise is charged when the defendant commits a felony drug violation as part of a continuing enterprise with five or more individuals from which substantial income is obtained. Its penalty is twenty years to life in prison, or even the death penalty if the offender intentionally kills another.

Most states have drug laws that mirror the federal act. However, the penalties may be less harsh and more flexible under state sentencing schemes than under the federal sentencing guidelines. A conviction of simple possession, for example may receive a sentence of drug treatment rather than jail time, and probation may be available to first-time offenders for even the more serious crimes.

Understanding Parole

After you have been arrested, if you are found guilty of a crime you may have to serve time in prison or another incarceration facility. Your sentence may be cut short if you are released on parole, or you may be placed on parole after serving your full sentence. But what is parole? When might it be granted? The following primer answers those questions, and many more.

What is parole?

Parole is, in essence, a conditional release from prison. In some cases, a prisoner may be released on parole only when they have served their full sentence. In other situations, a prisoner’s sentence may be cut short and they may receive an early release on parole. Parole allows a prisoner, or parolee, to leave prison and re-enter the community, subject to certain limitations and rules. Parolees who break any of the terms of parole can be sent back to prison for the remainder of their sentence or face other punishment.

Who is responsible for overseeing prisoners on parole?

The U.S. Parole Commission has jurisdiction over federal prisoners who are released on parole. For criminals serving time in state incarceration facilities, that particular state parole board has jurisdiction.

How does parole differ from probation?

Parole and probation are two totally separate things. Parole occurs when a prisoner is released from prison after having served either a portion or all of a sentence. Probation is an alternative to initial incarceration. Criminals who receive probation as a sentence will be able to remain members of their community, without seeing the inside of a jail or prison, so long as they follow rules set by the court. These rules may require them to seek counseling or treatment, participate in community education or perform community service. They will also be required to attend regular meetings with their parole officer. If they break any of these rules, their probation can be revoked, and they can be sent to prison.

Is parole always an option?

No. For some particularly serious crimes, prisoners may not be eligible for parole. The law of the state in which they are sentenced will dictate whether they may obtain parole for a certain crime. For example, some states do not allow for repeat offenders or first-degree murderers, among others, to receive parole. In other cases, a prisoner may receive the death sentence. There is no parole for death-sentenced prisoners.

How do I get paroled?

The specific steps that must be followed in order to obtain parole will vary from state to state. However, the process usually starts with a request or application for parole. In some states, prisoners are required to make the request themselves. In other states, a state parole board may investigate the possibility of parole after a set percentage of the sentence has been served. Once the request or application is made, a hearing will be held. Each state has detailed laws regarding how these hearings are to be conducted and what factors may be considered. Following the hearing, the parole board makes a decision as to whether the prisoner should be released on parole.

What factors play a part in determining whether parole will be granted?

Any number of factors will be considered by the parole board in determining whether a prisoner should be released on parole. These factors may include the prisoner’s age, mental status, education and training, employment opportunities, and remorse for having committed the offense. The parole board will also consider the prisoner’s behavior and attitude while in prison, participation in prison-education and prison-therapy programs, and the severity of the crime that was committed.

Can a prisoner have more than one parole hearing?

Yes. If a prisoner requests or is given a hearing but is denied parole he or she may try again, in the future, to obtain parole by going through the same process.

Does a prisoner have to accept parole when it is granted?

No. Parole will have many different conditions attached to it, usually put into place by the parole board and approved by the trial court that initially imposed the sentence. Prisoners must be told what all of the conditions of their release will be before being placed on parole. If they do not like the conditions, and do not want to abide by them, they are free to reject the offer of parole.

How long does parole last?

In most cases, the length of parole depends upon the crime that was committed and the behavior of the criminal. Typically, parole will not last longer than five years. However, parole can last for the rest of the prisoner’s life.

What type of conditions might be imposed on parole?

The conditions of parole that may be imposed are controlled by state law and also by the circumstances of the particular case. A parolee might be required to remain in a specific geographical area, or he or she might be required to obtain a job, receive treatment, or submit to counseling or periodic drug testing. Parolees are, almost without exception, prohibited from owning firearms. In all cases, a parolee will be required to meet with a parole officer. Usually, these meetings will be on a pre-determined schedule. In some cases, parolees might have to meet their parole officer once a week. In other situations, they may only have to meet with them once a month. The frequency of meetings with a parole officer depends upon the type of crime that was committed and the risk the parolee poses to the general health and safety of the community.

What happens if the conditions of parole are violated?

If the terms of parole are broken, the punishments may vary. A parolee who is late to a meeting with his or her parole officer, for example, may be given a verbal warning. If a more serious violation occurs, such as where the parolee fails a drug test, he or she may be sent back to prison. If a parolee commits a new crime while on parole, he or she may be sent back to prison and may also face trial (and a new sentence) for the new crime.

How is a prisoner’s parole revoked?

Just as the process of granting parole varies from state to state, the process of revoking parole is also controlled by the laws of the particular state in question. Usually, parolees are entitled to a hearing to determine whether they have the right to remain on parole or whether they should be sent back to prison. If the parolee does not like the outcome of the hearing, he or she is generally entitled to appeal the determination.

Virginia Prostitution Solicitation Lawyers Fairfax Richmond Beach Manassas Lynchburg Fredericksburg

VIRGINIA PROSTITUTION & SOLICITATION DEFENSE ATTORNEYS

MISDEMEANOR AND FELONY CASES

STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS

In Virginia, sex related offenses such as Prostitution, Pandering, and Solicitation are illegal. They are serious offenses that carry life changing consequences. The Virginia law offices of SRIS, P.C.have a number of excellent Virginia prostitution defense attorneys & solicitation defense lawyers in its offices in Fairfax, Manassas, Lynchburg, Richmond and Virginia Beach, Virginia .

Prostitution is the practice of engaging in sexual activity, usually with individuals other than a spouse or a friend, in exchange for money or other valuables.

Pandering is the act of recruiting a prostitute or soliciting customers for a prostitute. A pimp commits the crime of pandering.

Solicitation is the act of asking, inducing or directing someone to engage in sexual activity in exchange for money. Solicitation is commonly known as Solicitation for Prostitution.

Prostitution may be of either sex and may engage in heterosexual or homosexual activity but most prostitution has been by women with men as clients. Prostitution is a crime throughout almost all of the United States.

In Virginia, in cases involving solicitation for prostitution, most clients are arrested in so called “sting operations”. These operations usually involve a woman (in some cases an undercover cop/decoy) acting as the prostitute soliciting drivers from the side of a roadway. Also lately, the stings have been set up on very popular and heavily trafficked web sites such as centralized networks of online urban communities, featuring free classifieds advertisements. The female decoy is generally very attractive and does her best to lure unsuspecting and unwary men to pull over and engage her in a brief conversation. After a brief verbal exchange the prostitute attempts to get the person to say the magic words — SEX AND MONEY. Once the unsuspecting person agrees to the sex act for money the person is usually arrested immediately or after pulling into a parking lot or inside of a hotel room.

In Virginia, both the prostitute and the “John” are aggressively prosecuted for prostitution and solicitation. Innocent citizens with no criminal history can find themselves accused and arrested of one of these crimes simply by being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Prostitution and solicitation are crimes that may be charged as felonies or misdemeanors. Both of these sex crimes carry a lasting social stigma and serious legal consequences. In some states, because of overwhelming pressure from the public many prosecutors will stop at nothing to get a conviction. Punishment on these cases can range from community service, AIDS testing, fines, counseling to jail time.

There are many defenses available to these crimes. Contacting a skilled SRIS, P.C. Virginia criminal lawyer as soon as possible allows the attorney to evaluate the evidence and witnesses to be questioned immediately after the event, providing the best opportunity for a successful defense.

In Virginia, law enforcement has attacked the prostitution problem from a different angle — by focusing on massage parlors, bawdy houses and escort agencies. Regular raids and stings of these businesses occur on a regular basis with cops posing as customers intent on testing the boundaries that various escorts and masseuses may or may not be willing to cross during their one hour long companionship. With the advent of the Internet both escorts and prostitutes found a new way of accessing new business. Their growing popularity on the Internet has not gone unnoticed by law enforcement.
