I am currently on probation, prior to my sentence, about 2.5 years I was enrolled in classes, en Lou of jail or prison until sentencing.
In California we have 100’s of these classes that are court ordered, and you attend these classes until you are sentenenced (sp) or sometimes instead of going to jail or prison.
Depending upon you record, your charge, and your conviction (of Course) and most important it depends upon the one and only most important aspect of our criminal justice system, your lawyer, how good is he.
Anyway, my point, what is my point?
I have been on Xanax, sometimes a lot of Xanax, for a while, well 20 years,
When tested at class, I would have to produce my prescriptions and letters from my shrink, and then I could take the urine test, as if I was going to drink the piss with out a written note from my doctor,
Long story, sorry, the officers finally just gave up on me, because every single test was distorted by my Xanax.
I got the impression they had no idea what I was really taking, I don’t like drugs, Xanax is simply a prescription, but I don’t really like recreational drugs, booze is a different issue.
But the Xanax frustrated them immensely.
LA county jail, is different, they just hold you for a week with no Xanax, and test again, they don’t care if you live or die, they just want you clean for the test.
Fortunately you can get Xanax in jail from other prisoners easier than at a drug store.
