Mental problems

My son has had mental problems since he was little.

He was first dianoised with add then odd , then the doctors said bi polar. He started using druds when he got older and now he

is in trouble. He is in jail for having drugs and violating the programs they put him in cause he kept getting kicked out cause of his behavior problems. They now want to send him to prison but i feel he really needs to be put some where he can get properly dianoised and get on the right medications. What can i do or what can his lawyer do????

Someone please help me save my son from prison...
