Don't due, say, or write anything until you speak with your attorney. Let him or her advise you as to what to do. The factors you site could help get you into something other than jail, but it is not a given--while you say you were arrested for your "shoplifting addiction," the fact is, you were arrested for stealing and for the 5th time. Courts do not have to--and generally don't--take too much cognizance of "addiction" as a defense--otherwise, no drug user would ever go to jail. They probably will consider the impact on innocent, minor family members, like your daughter, and they *may* give some credence to a psychologist's recommendation, but again--let you your attorney advise and represent you.
