Judge Gloria Rhynes looks relapsed junkies in the eye every day. In most cases, she must decide whether they deserve another shot at staying in a Proposition 36 rehab program or if they should be kicked out because they aren't taking it seriously. A common refrain from the judge is that defendants can clean up their act or end up dead or in jail. It helps hearing it from a judge who is African-American, has life experiences and a no-nonsense air that carries a lot of credibility with defendants.
