WWASP? The only one I can think of. There are only a few others that I can think of that might cause permanent psychosis as seen in Loughner. All the others cause PTSD, anorexia, bulimia, and other relatively "moderate" symptoms.

He was arrested in Pima County. Here is what I found:

What about diversion programs?
In Pima County, both of our court systems (county and city) and the University of Arizona all have diversion programs. Here are some facts about each of the three programs:

University of Arizona
The program is offered by the Dean of Students Office for currently enrolled U of A students who have been charged with misdemeanors by the UAPD. They must be first-time offenders and have been referred to the program by the UAPD, Pima County Attorney's Office or Pima County Justice Court. Completing the diversion program (usually consisting of community service and education), results in the criminal charges being dismissed.

Tucson City Court
This program is offered to first-time misdemeanor defendants (there are some charges that are excluded). You will be referred by the Assistant City Attorney at your arraignment. Successful completion will result in the dismissal of the charge(s) against you.

Pima County Attorney's Office
This program is offered to first and second-time misdemeanor defendants. The arraignment judge will refer you. Successful completion will result in the dismissal of criminal charge(s) against you.

Each of these programs is different, but they all offer those defendants who qualify a way to deal with a misdemeanor charge without risk of a conviction.

I don't know who referred him. It would take more to find out what each of these systems can offer.

Quote from: "dragonfly"

He was not in a public program, it was privately run according to NY post and Health and Rehab services of AZ.

He was never in the public system

A lot of these so-called "public programs" are actually run by private subcontractors. This is very similar to the trend towards privatizing the prison industry.

Marana, Arizona - what's there? It's outside of Tucson. Specifically Marana, 2008.
