Summary

Defines three key terms used in this subchapter. A nonviolent parent drug offender is someone who is pregnant or who is a parent of a child under 18 and who was convicted of a drug or drug-related felony that is nonviolent. A nonviolent offense is a crime that either does not involve using or threatening physical force against people or property, or is not a felony that likely involves such force. A prison-based family treatment program is a program in a jail or prison for incarcerated parents or pregnant women that gives many supports, such as substance abuse treatment, child and family services, medical and mental health care (including prenatal and pediatric care), parenting and education or job/GED training, legal help, transportation, and other therapies.
