Thank you, So few on here are able to look past their own agenda’s and see the bigger picture. One of these days government’s large and small will discover that as well intentioned as they were, they in fact have done everyone criminal and victim alike an immeasurable disservice. This system is more concerned with taking its pound of flesh(cash)than either making the victim whole or doing one thing to reform the convicted.

Tom, you hit in on the nose. Mr. Raney lives for building his empire and finding more ways to financially get it done. It’s at the expense of others.

Well breeze if that is true the probationers must be loving it. No testing, no accountability, not much of a probation is it? Probation should have some accountability that goes along with it but, this sounds like the only accountability here is the accountability the sheriff’s accountants are taking. I’m not saying good ole Gary isn’t smart he is. He knows if he lowers recidivism rates he dries up a very lucrative money stream and that wouldn’t be good for his empire building aspirations. I wouldn’t brag too much about no testing if I were you, things might change and there goes your party time.

Play the part, smile, answer a couple of questions and be on your way. It’s a joke, but it makes it easy for us. As long as I pay my fee, they don’t even check on anything else. I can even have a couple of beers now or party with my friends,no testing to get me in trouble!

They all act like wanna be cops who know little about what they are doing. They could care less that we are missing work sitting in there forever just waiting to be called to the back with a bunch of other people. Comments from everyone I spoke too are bad. We are not being supervised, just paying money. I’m writing a letter to the judge asking for unsupervised. This is pathetic.

It’s at 8601 Emerald, you should visit. I’ve been reading up on politics lately. Tell me more on the fireman and Mayor Beiter. It seems Sheriff Ranny is not too popular. I just read where he just got a $25,000 raise!!! Is that becaause he now has probation? He makes more than the Governor, that’s just plain wrong. Is he part of the Yzaguirre and Ullman duet? Politics in Ada County sucks big time.

Oh my Gosh! Is this a joke? Another great move by Yzaguirre and Ullman? This so called new probation move is an insult making me feel like a number and not a person. My old PO knew and cared about me and the steps I made with my recovery. Now I walk in, wait in a room with dozens of others and get herded back for a group pow wow and make sure we pay our money. Feels like a jail, glass windows and locked doors. Guess they are afraid of us and want us to know law enforcement is now in charge of us. Why would they change a system that worked for this?
Tom is right on the intimidation.
