UPDATE (12/8): NEW MUGSHOT FOR DEBBIE...
END OF TEH ROAD?
Will Debbie Rethink Her Ways?

Gerbil Nation (Nov 5)--Two months since her arrest, and 10 days since being sentenced to a multi-year prison term, Colorado Inmate 182605 Deborah Ellen Frisch has plenty of time to rethink her criminal ways... 

Miss Debbie has until teh end of teh decade, in fact: According to teh Colorado DOC website, Miss Debbie's first eligible parole date is on January 19th, 2020.

Will Debbie emerge from prison a changed person? Towards answering that query, it might be worth re-tracing teh long dozen-year road that led to Debbie's current plight.

As long-time Frisch watchers know, Miss Debbie's criminal fever has spiked in 4 past phases:

Phase One (2006-2007): 

• Miss Debbie lost her job after threatening a blogger and his toddler son over teh July 4th holiday in 2006. (Miss Debbie was also arrested for harassing phone calls to an unrelated victim; she was sentenced to a year's probation in September 2006.)
• Miss Debbie persisted in her stalking, threatening and harassment of Goldstein, necessitating a restraining order and a Colorado civil lawsuit.
• In teh course of of the lawsuit, Miss Debbie's website (DebFrisch.com) was yanked by GoDaddy in February 2007; teh site returned under--ahem!--NEW MANAGEMENT in 2010, and now serves as teh Deb Frisch Containment Project.
• In a bit of "real life" drama, Miss Debbie was escorted by campus security from teh University of Oregon Eugene in teh summer of 2007 for creating a disturbance.

 Phase Two (2008-2010):

• In early November 2008, a drunken Debbie Frisch assaulted a friend whose only "offense" was to give teh drunken Debbie a ride home from a night of bar-hopping.
• Miss Debbie was arrested, tried and convicted for her assault teh following March 2009. Her sentence included 10 days' community service and 3 years probation.
• In a bit of vindictive idiocy, Miss Debbie filed a frivolous lolsuit in May 2009. (After her first shi*ty effort was pwned by a federal judge, Debbie filed a second suit.) After numerous LULZ (samples here and here), and facing a counter-suit for legal expenses, Debbie surrendered in August 2010.
• Debbie returned to persistent stalking, harassing and threatening of her victim. Debbie was arrested and convicted of a probation violation in October 2010. Debbie was sentenced to 10 days in jail, an additional two years' probation (through March 2014)--and banned from teh internet as a condition of her probation. 

Phase Three (2015):

• Soon after her probation term ended in 2014, Miss Debbie returned to teh internet; she sought vengeance on various Oregon law enforcement officers and criminal justice officials.
• Miss Debbie was arrested for her behavior in February 2015.  
• Released the following month (as part of a plea-bargain), Debbie was re-arrested barely a week later for filing false police reports (probation violation). 
• In June, Miss Debbie received a 90-day suspended sentence for her false report-charges. 
• Debbie spent teh rest of teh summer trying to buck the yoke of her probation-requirements, leading to two re-arrests that August. 
• Miss Debbie was sentenced to 5 concurrent criminal charges as a result of her second round of probation violations.
• At teh end of teh year, Miss Debbie was released from Lane County Jail. But a nasty surprise was in store for Teh Deb: her ever-enabling Mommy and Daddy SOLD the Oregon home Debbie had been squatting in since 2006! Miss Debbie "bid adieu" to Oregon on December 13th, 2015.

Phase Four (2016-2018):

• Miss Debbie seemed (somewhat) chastened for a few months, but soon returned to her old ways, seeking vengeance on her very first (Colorado) victim and his family (10 years later!). 
• Debbie's victim filed a criminal complaint, leading to a FELONY warrant to be issued by Weld County CO authorities. Miss Debbie was arrested a week later in Yreka California (no doubt attempting to flee towards Oregon).
• In March 2017, after 3 months behind bars, Miss Debbie was bailed out of jail (by her ever-enabling Mommy and Daddy). She was arrested again two weeks later and (after being bailed out yet again) in August.
• In November 2017, after dodging a mandatory court hearing, Weld County issued yet another felony warrant, leading to Miss Debbie's arrest a week later. 
• Several revolving-door re-arrests and (Daddy-funded) bail-outs occurred over the next two months (Dec 15, Jan 5), before Weld County finally had enough; Debbie was arrested in Oregon on January 26th 2018 and extradited to Weld County, where she was caged for teh next 4 months.
• At teh end of May 2018, Debbie's ever-enabling Mommy and Daddy secured a bail-out of Debbie pending an October sentencing on felony charges. As part of teh deal, Miss Debbie was forced into 3 weeks' inpatient treatment at the Alvarado Parkway Institute Behavioral Health System. (Miss Debbie's ever-enabling parents also hired a private criminal attorney, in an attempt to get a lenient sentence for Debbie's felonies; Debbie's lawyer soon realize that defending Debbie was a fool's errand.)
• In July and August, however, Miss Debbie returned to her criminal vengeance habits, stalking harassing and threatening various victims by email and phone. Anticipating a felony arrest order, Miss Debbie attempted to flee on 31 August. During her last week of freedom, Miss Debbie continued taunting, libeling and threatening various Colorado law enforcement and criminal justice officials. Debbie was arrested in San Diego on September 5th 2018. She was extradited to Weld County the following month and sentenced on October 26th. 

Believe it or not, even this lengthy summary leaves out all sorts of Debbie-criminality (fuller accounts here and here; see also The Other McCain's reportage on Teh Debbie Saga...)

While Debbie's past inability to learn how to STFU and leave innocent people alone is daunting, it's worth bearing a few things in mind:

• This is Debbie's first conviction on FELONY charges. 
• This is Debbie's first time behind PRISON walls (rather than cushier county jails). 
• And this will be Debbie's LONGEST (by far) incarceration.

As a result, it's possible (though, alas, not probable) that Debbie might realize it's time to cease and desist stalking, harassing and threatening people whose only "sins" have been holding Debbie accountable for her past stalking, harassing and threatening behavior.

Can Debbie see its time to exit the vicious circle of consequences-vengeance-consequences? Applied decision theory has (ironically) never been one of Miss Debbie's strong suits. Perhaps, this time, enough pain will be inflicted for Debbie to finally realize that "HOT! DO NOT TOUCH!" actually means what it says...

But we won't hold our gerbilly breaths.
