Judges are now being told to thoroughly vet rehab centers before approving bail — after shocking revelations that some facilities were rife with crime, neglect, and even tampered records. One center run by Pastor Ross Pene, who admitted to falsifying drug test results and giving false court references — including for TV star Andrew O’Keefe — became the focal point. Clients vanished, charges piled up, and the Attorney-General launched a review that found these centers largely unregulated, with courts blindly trusting lawyers’ word. No formal approval lists or standards were created, but judges are now personally responsible for ensuring these facilities genuinely support recovery — not just shuffle people through the system.
