Subject: Marriage in prison
It sounds like there is a transitional phase ahead for your boyfriend it the US Marshal Service just apprehended him. Depending on the charges, he might be able to have a bond and be released. You could marry then. But, if he is held on a warrant that makes that impossible, then he will be in a federal detention facility until the case is heard. Most likely he will be remanded and unable to qualify for a marriage. Marrying an...

Depends on the PO's report and what the allegations were. In most cases, the offender has to do the remaining time on their original sentence.

Usually, no, not for the same property in the same case.
The law generally treats these as mutually exclusive offenses:
Theft means the person actually took the property
Receiving stolen property means the person got it from someone else, knowing it was stolen
You cannot logically be both the thief and the receiver of the same item in the same incident.
What can happen instead:
Prosecutors may charge both initially while the case is being sorted out
As the case moves forward, they will typically pursue one or the other, not both

Scheduling conflicts

What has to happen first:
He must get approval from his parole officer in Georgia
A transfer request is submitted to Alabama
Alabama has to accept supervision before he can move
What they look at:
A verified address (your home in Alabama helps)
Employment or a...

A federal probation violation (technically “supervised release” in the federal system) is taken seriously, and early release is not common in these cases.
When someone is picked up for not reporting:
The court can revoke supervision
Impose a new term of custody
Follow it with another period of supervision
If he was told “about 8 months,” that is likely:
The expected sentence or guideline range, or
The time the judge indicated he may have to serve
Can he get out earlier?
Sometimes, but options are limited:
Good time credit (federal inmates can earn up to about...
