A conviction can have profound consequences on your freedom, finances and family relationships. For college-aged young adults, it can be particularly daunting, often affecting educational and career prospects. The possible legal penalties if convicted can add further hardships. Examples include:
- Drug offenses: Lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines and a permanent criminal record
- Theft and property crimes: Restitution, community service and potential imprisonment
- Felony convictions: Extended incarceration periods, substantial fines and long-term impacts on employment and housing opportunities
