Thank you for your posting.
Your girlfriend's attorney should be able to present evidence regarding her medical, mental, and other conditions that may be relevant to sentencing, and to avoid a sentence that is cruel and unusual, if those factors apply. You should speak to her attorney regarding those factors, and preapproval into a program or other alternative sentencing before her court date.
