Prosecutor: This program looks at the totality of the quality of life. Since, you Mister Jones, have been arrested some thirteen times, all felonies mind you, in and around Marion County, it seems as if you are not happy in our fine city; ergo, a second chance for you is posed. I have a contract in the presence of counsel that if agreed upon you will have to sign and strictly adhere to but still be free.
Criminal: "Okay where do I sign?"
Prosecutor: "Wouldn't you like to read it fully before you sign it? There are some things in the contract you should be aware of."
Criminal: "Like what?"
Prosecutor: "Listen please? You really need to read it. And sign it in front of counsel."
Criminal: "But I can't read this stuff."
Prosecutor: "Fine Mister Jones. But you are interested in this program and contract?"
Criminal: "Yea, man! Who wouldn't be in my situation?"
Prosecutor: "Very good Mister Jones. We will get ahold of your counsel and have her read the entire thirty-three page contract to you and explain every fine point. And after twenty-four hours of thinking. We'll set up the contract meeting with you and your counsel if you are still interested. Is that agreeable?"
Criminal: "Yea!"...
(Peace! More to come...)
