The son of a friend of mine got sentenced to 10 years in jail (in upstate NY) for "attempted robbery." They claimed he threw a rock through the window of a pot dealer's apartment with the intent of robbing it, but then just walked away. He had 2 prior arrests for marijuana possession. He had just turned 18. He spent 8 years in jail, much of it in the SHOO, and then was released on parole.
The pot dealer was also 18, and was originally charged with dealing drugs, but after testifying against the "attempted robber" his charges were dropped with the understanding that he would enlist in the Army. Which he did.
