Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke explained later that CDI is an intense, highly controlled, form of probation. Felons admitted to the program must remain within 75 miles of their home, are subject to regular and unannounced drug testing, may not change jobs without permission, and must meet with their probation officer at least weekly.
Felons must ask to be accepted into the program. If they are not accepted, because of their past record for example, they must serve the prison sentence imposed by the judge. If they drop out of CDI the same fate awaits them.

Donald Adamson Blanchard, Jr. faced Judge Robertson for sentencing on two charges: manufacturing illicit drugs and failure to appear. He was sentenced to 15 years on the first charge and one year on the second, the sentences to run concurrently. But the judge released Mr. Blanchard “on time served” and suspended the balance of the sentence on five year’s probation, with the stipulation that he pay court costs and remain drug free.
