Varlan, however, not only refused to lower Erazo’s penalty range but actually boosted his sentence from the minimum 151 months to 160 months, or just more than 13 years.

“The court certainly is aware of the (U.S.) Department of Justice’s stated position (and) while the court recognizes the discretion of the court (to lower the punishment), the court is mindful the defendant led a conspiracy involving the distribution of large quantities of crack cocaine while in the U.S. illegally,” Varlan said.

Can Somebody Explain Why Mexico Would Even Have Drug Rehab Centers Since Mexico Says Its Only a US Problem?

Question by I’m gonna start another riot: Can somebody explain why Mexico would even have drug rehab centers since Mexico says its only a US problem?
Even for regular families with addicts, drug centers can be ugly places. Parents commit unruly adolescents or even their adult children against their will for months at a time. Beatings are often part of therapy, hygiene can be poor and lax enforcement of regulations prevails.

No one knows how many drug rehabilitation clinics and treatment centers there are. The Mexican government is expanding a series of Nueva Vida rehab centers for teenagers, erected since 2007 with $ 205 million confiscated from a Shanghai -born drug trafficker.

I Just Don’t Get Why Such Talented, Rich People Abuse Drugs/alcohol and Die From It!?

Question by greendaypunkmom: I just don’t get why such talented, rich people abuse drugs/alcohol and die from it!?
I suppose the “you can only help those who WANT to be helped” term will come in……but for, like, these celebrities who have tons of money and refuse to use it to help themselves and their families makes me nuts!!!
I guess it’s because I have depression and can’t afford medical treatment—I would give anything to be able to afford help!!
From Jim Morrison to Kurt Cobain to Michael Jackson….etc….etc…..I honestly don’t understand.
Can anyone enlighten me or make sense of this??
**Sorry, Ozama…..but I have no idea what you mean. Why should I ask poor people why rich people refuse to use their money to get treatment? If I wanted to do that, I would have looked in a mirror and repeated the question out loud….
