Selling a house before a prison surrender date is entirely doable as long as you start the process early enough, and the real estate process works the same way it would under any other circumstances. Contact a local real estate agent who works in your neighborhood. An agent familiar with your specific market will know what comparable homes are selling for, how to price yours competitively, and how to move the sale as efficiently as possible given your timeline.
Read moreThe rumor that Florida does not extradite is false. Florida extradites aggressively and does not limit that pursuit based on distance or state lines. Felony warrants including probation violation warrants are pursued by Florida regardless of where the person is picked up. Alabama, Alaska, or anywhere else, Florida will send transport officers to collect someone on an active felony warrant. The state has a well established extradition process and treats probation violations seriously, particularly because a violation represents a

If your ex grew up in the hood and understands street culture, he already has the most important tool available to him. Prison social dynamics are built on the same foundation as street dynamics in many ways. Knowing how to carry yourself, how to give and receive respect, how to read
Read moreEveryone is different. When I first got there, I was buying all kinds of snacks and candy. I thought having those sweet things to eat, would make me feel better. But the more time I did, the more I got into working out and getting into great shape. That is when my preferences changed from sweet to "protein" which meant packets of tuna, mackerel, salmon and chicken. They run anywhere from $1.25 for tuna to $3.75 for chicken.
Read moreYou should call the facility first before you do anything and see if they would allow it. In state prison, some states allow you to send shoes or work boots (or order them for the inmate and they are shipped in). In federal you definitely cannot. All extra footware is bought through the commissary. The pricing is very fair for sneakers and boots. The inmate would need money on their books to be able to acquire them.
Read moreThe range here runs from roughly 3 to 5 years on the lenient end to significantly more on the other end, and several variables determine where the sentence lands within that spectrum. Arizona uses a structured sentencing system with presumptive, mitigated, and aggravated ranges for each offense class. A single count of aggravated assault as a class 3 or class 4 felony carries a presumptive sentence in the range of 5 to 7.5 years for a non-repetitive offender. With
Read moreThe new resisting arrest charge does not automatically add time to the existing 7-month sentence. The two matters are legally separate and get handled independently through their own processes. The original 7-month sentence moves forward on its own timeline without being directly affected by the new charge. What the new charge does is create a second legal matter that will eventually come before a judge, and that is where the real risk to additional time exists. On its

Read moreA suspended sentence works differently from a standard sentence calculation and understanding that distinction explains why the July release date is likely accurate without any additional good time reduction applied on top. When a judge sentences someone to 5 years suspended to 4, the suspension itself is the leniency built into the sentence. Your brother is only serving 4 of the 5 years, which already represents a 20% reduction from the maximum the judge could have imposed. That suspension
