Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

If someone was arrested on a 459 comercial burglury while already participating in the ca. Drug court program and was told if they just signed for the 459 they would be kep in the program the charge would be added on there case load and they would be brought back in a couple days dressed for realease and get out. With that being said the deal was taken and they were brought back a few days later to court dressed and ready to go home but they end up not being releases sent back to jail. Would that be considered a promise that was made to you in order to take the charge similar to a brib and can it be over turned if taken back to court?
