This depends on the facts in the case - how badly was the other person hurt, was there property damage or was there a restraining order violated? If there were truly no other prior incidents in his criminal history he will unlikely serve any long term sentence. Probably a suspended sentence or probation that would hang over his head.

The first couple of months were the hardest. To me, prison is like the movie Groundhog Day, where every day you wake up and it's the same as the day before.

If you are paying the crazy-high rate, we can certainly help you. Once you get the number from us, enter it when you put money on your Securus account (or if your inmate can but phone
Read moreThis is not the type of crime that retribution by inmates is imposed. However, we would strongly advise you to NOT share your paperwork. We would get together a decent explanation of what occurred and when you feel the need to share your story, probably with some inmate gets close to you (and it's inevitable that it will happen), you need to have a very condensed version.
