16system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
17by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair

3and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
4the court is of the opinion that:
5 (1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is

10 (3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
11 consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
12 into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
13 Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
