Question by Ossicle: “Sentenced to treatment” for grand larceny? (NYS)?
Hello,

A friend is going to go before a judge on a charge of 3rd degree grand larceny (Class D). There is some hope that the DA will be merciful and recommend “treatment” for him for some period of time (e.g., a year or two) — I believe in some sort of halfway house or something — then after a certain time his case would be reviewed and the indictment could be dropped, or the felony reduced to a misdemeanor.

I only think of treatment in terms of drug offenders, does anyone know what this might mean/entail in terms of a property crime like grand larceny? And/or more formally what a program like this is called? I’d be interested in learning the possible places to which he could be sent.

Thanks.

Question by pseudonym: Why is treatment and medication for AIDS and Cancer so expensive?
These 2 diseases kill millions each year, mostly due to the majority of patients who can’t afford the proper treatment and care. So why do the medications and treatments continue being so bloody expensive? Especially in developing and third world countries. Shouldn’t the UN create some sort of task-force or governing body to streamline the treatment for AIDS and Cancer all over the world?
