MILLERSBURG — He overdosed on heroin while free on bond, and for that a Wooster man on Thursday was given an 11-month prison sentence for stealing and forging a payroll check in August 2015.
Joseph A. Kahrig, 26, whose last known address was 348 Derr Ave., Apt. B, previously pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to theft and forgery.
An initial request for treatment in lieu of conviction was granted by Judge Robert Rinfret, who, in October, issued a warrant for the arrest of Kahrig because he failed to complete the terms of his treatment.
Kahrig admitted to the violation and was scheduled to be sentenced on the two counts, both fifth-degree felonies, when he was released from the Holmes County Jail on his own recognizance, ordered to return to court for sentencing on Dec. 15.

7, Kahrig said he overdosed on heroin.
Wooster police and fire were contacted when another, with whom Kahrig was staying in the 700 block of Quinby Avenue, reportedly discovered Kahrig unresponsive. Squad personnel administered several doses of Narcan before transporting Kahrig to Wooster Community Hospital, where he said he remained for seven days before being discharged.
“Mr. Kahrig, you're lucky to be alive,” said Rinfret, continuing, “You convinced me to let you out of jail (on a recognizance bond) and go to work, and you almost killed yourself. If I left you in jail instead of letting you out, you'd be better off today.”
By using heroin, Kahrig violated the terms of his bond, introducing a prison factor for the offense for which he, otherwise, faced local jail time and

Michael “Meeko” Thompson has spent more than two decades locked away in the Chippewa Correctional Facility. Michael was arrested for selling three pounds of cannabis to an undercover officer. He had prior drug offenses, but no history of violence. When his house was raided after his arrest, a few antique firearms and one usable firearm were recovered.

Conclusion: Congress hoped to achieve a greater degree of accuracy in assessing flight and danger of arrestees through establishing the Bail Reform Act of 1984, which set objective guidelines for judicial officers in assessing release conditions including taking into account for the first time the probability an offender will re-offend while on pretrial release. It was also hoped that the Act would bring back the community's trust in bond setting practice. Overall, the benefits of the Bail Reform Act of 1984 do exceed any detriments, but some problems do exist. These problems include the uniformity in the application of the Bail Reform Act of 1984, as well as the interpretation of dangerousness to the community. Through future legislative and executive reform, this Act will go through multiple changes until these issues are addressed.

Convicts rarely serve their entire sentences in prison (Ross and Richards, 146). To alleviate the costs of imprisonment on taxpayers and lessen the staggering populations of prisons across America, it is simply prudent to let inmates out on parole. Unfortunately, the parole system is imperfect and often leads to many ex-convicts recidivating. With the various trials and challenges that ex-convicts are bound to face when rejoining society after prison, Ross and Richards provide valuable lessons in their book of how a convict might survive beyond bars.
Below I attached two articles on the same story, the story is about a Medical Technician named David M. Kwiatkowski, who traveled to a few states and stole syringes of fentanyl. Then he would inject himself with the syringes and replace the fluid inside with saline and put them back to be used on patients. Kwiatkowski is infected by the Hepatitis C which made this one of the biggest outbreaks of the disease in recent decades. He was given a sentence of 39 years because of the impact of what he did and the many people it affected. Some facts from the article to know the extent of what happened are that 45 total people were infected by these syringes, and one of them has already died. Linda Ficken said in the trial to Mr. Kwiatkowski, “You handed down to us a potential death sente...

... there might have been enough evidence to find him innocent. Through reading the book, it was clear that the jury was going to convict him and almost certainly it was based on race. The prejudice and racism that was so clearly seen not only in the novel, but also in historical context, was so great that Kabuo never stood a chance of getting a fair jury trial. That is he never would have been acquitted of the crime had the Judge have not dismissed the jury in light of evidence, both physical and written, turned up by Ishmael that all but proved Kabuo's story and innocence.
In this situation, Doris Drugdealer should be arrested for two reasons. Firstly, She used to sell heroin. Secondly, she escaped from the prison. But on the moral side, Doris Drugdealer had done a lot of things to compensate, and she had changed to become a person of the highest integrity and compassion, so she need to be forgiven.
