A: Sounds like he's somehow been enrolled in SAFP, an in-custody drug rehab. If you are saying that he can't begin the program until August, then that means that there isn't an available spot and he has to wait in line, while in prison, in order to get into the program and then successfully complete it. If you're not talking SAFP, I don't understand your question and I'd ask you to re-state it here to clarigy your friend's situation.
