ashley klein ROCKS!!!!
Well, she likely wouldn’t be able to drink in prison, but would she get any help with the issues that are making her drink and do drugs. I have a feeling drugs are more available in prison than liquor. I assume they have AA in prison and that would maybe be enough if she stays off drugs. I just know she needs more help than a deferred judgment and probation!
Good God, this woman needs to spend a little time in jail not rehab it dosent sound like shes going to change.
Good grief. This woman belongs in a rehab facility until she decides to behave.
