Recovery Court Rejections (Part 2)

Governor Christie expanded Recovery Court (then Drug Court) access by removing most of a prosecutor’s discretion to reject applicants from the program. The remaining “catch-all” rejection basis that prosecutors rely on is “3. Track One – Inappropriate for Probation/Danger to the community – N.J.S.A. 2C:35-14a(9).” There is no known precedent addressing the application of this factor.

The “9. Track Two – Less than two years left on probation” factor can be remedied by extending the term of probation for an additional two years. This creates an interesting issue in the case of an applicant that has already served three years of probation since terms of  probation are not supposed to last for more than five years.
