I need a sample letter to a judge asking that my son be sentenced to mandatory rehab instead of incarceration for three for possession of cds. I was asked to write a letter to the court on why i believe that he should be allowed to go to rehab vice prison.I would like to hear some inputs on this. There's not time to read all that comes before a judge to read. 2. I am sending good thought that the judge hears you and does the right thing in ordering her into treatment. I am amazed at your strength and resolve. The goal of character reference letters is to tell the judge a story. To give the judge insight into a defendant as a person. These sample letters can be used to educate actors in the criminal legal system or child welfare and foster system to permit MOUD. Our goal is to support you in your recovery.
