In a recent court session, a judge addressed a defendant's options following a relapse in their rehabilitation program. The judge presented a stark choice: either participate in a \"safety relapse\" program or face a five-year prison sentence. The defendant was reminded of their previous successes in structured environments, such as the SAFE P program, but was cautioned about returning to negative behaviors upon re-entering society.

The court ultimately decided to deny a motion related to the defendant's case, mandating participation in the SAFE P relapse program with conditions that include partial GPS monitoring upon release for employment and probation classes. The judge inquired if there was anything else needed for the defendant's success, to which the defense requested inclusion in the judicial policy provision.

In a separate matter, the court addressed the absence of defendant Brandon Banks, who failed to appear for his scheduled hearing. The defense attorney confirmed a lack of contact with Banks, prompting the state to request revocation of his bond. The judge granted this request, remanding Banks without bond, but noted that the court would reconsider if he made an appearance.

The session also included discussions about other defendants, with the judge managing multiple cases and ensuring procedural compliance. The meeting concluded with the judge allowing attorneys to excuse themselves, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the court's work.
