Court orders furlough for Amber Jensen into rehab with drug-court pathway

The court revoked Amber Ray Jensen’s probation but granted a furlough that will allow her to enter a 28‑day residential substance‑abuse program, after which she may be referred into the county’s drug‑court recovery program. If Jensen fails to complete the rehabilitation program, the court ordered she return to custody to resume the previously imposed sentence.

Jensen told the court she understood she was waiving her right to a hearing and that the rehabilitation and subsequent drug‑court participation were conditioned on successful completion of the initial treatment program. A formal “recovery court entry” order was signed and the judge flagged that the court file should reflect whether she successfully completes the program so the drug‑court transition is clear in the record.

The judge and counsel discussed administrative language to ensure the order captures the process — the court emphasized that completion of the residential program is the trigger for placement in drug court and noted how files should document the transition and any return to custody if the program is not completed.
