The confusion here is understandable because it feels like being punished twice for the same thing. But internal discipline and criminal prosecution are two entirely separate systems operating independently of each other. The facility's decision to put him in the hole for 45 days was an administrative response to a rule violation. A criminal indictment by a prosecutor is a completely different action under a completely different legal framework, and one does not cancel out the other.
Phone calls inside correctional facilities are recorded and monitored as a matter of routine, and inmates are notified of this at intake. A recorded call in which someone instructs another person not to say anything and to change their number is not just a rule violation inside the facility. It is potential evidence of obstruction or conspiracy that a prosecutor can and will use. The timeline delay between the January incident and a current indictment is not unusual. Grand jury proceedings and prosecutorial review take time, and cases involving recorded communications often move slowly because the evidence has to be formally processed and presented.
The behavior pattern you are describing, the extended hole time, the lost visits, officials contacting people on his call log, the instruction not to speak without a lawyer, and the suggestion he may be arrested shortly after release, paints a picture that goes beyond a single contraband incident. Your instincts are telling you something and they are worth listening to.
The advice here is the same as the answer suggests. Be careful about how much financial support and emotional energy you invest until you have a clearer picture of what is actually happening. You are not getting the whole story, and that is not a reflection of your intelligence. It is a reflection of a situation that is being managed carefully by people who have reasons to keep you in the dark.
