Go with the GDC website. That is the official record, maintained directly by the Georgia Department of Corrections, and it reflects the actual legal status of his sentence. If GDC says life, that is what the system has on file. The inmate profiles on InmateAid are created and maintained by members and users of the site, not by InmateAid staff. The information in those profiles is only as accurate as what whoever created or last updated the profile entered at the...

It depends heavily on the facility, the sentence length, and how the offense was classified, but there are programs available at most jails and prisons for people with drug and alcohol histories, and in many cases participation is encouraged or even required as part of a sentence. At the federal level, the most significant program is the Residential Drug Abuse Program, known as RDAP. It is an intensive 500-hour treatment program offered at select BOP facilities.

This is a frustrating situation because the failure to appear was not his fault. He was in custody and being moved between facilities on the day he was supposed to be in court. That kind of administrative mix-up happens, and the courts are not always quick to unwind it on their own.

Some of the most well known serial killers in American history are alive and...

We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff opens and reads each piece of mail and inspects it for contraband. Once they decide the mail is fit to be handed out at mail call, your inmate will receive it. Any delay that occurs at the facility is out of our control. We make no guarantees as to how long it will take as there are thousands of facilities and none...

PC 3454 is not a charge for the stabbing itself. It is a post-release supervision statute, which means it relates to violations of conditions imposed after someone was already released from a prior prison sentence, not the underlying act of violence. Under California's criminal justice realignment, many people released from state prison are placed under Post-Release Community Supervision, or PRCS, which is managed at the county level rather than by state parole. PC 3454 governs how counties assess, monitor, and respond...
