He is probably not looking at more time, unless what he brought in is either a weapon or a cellphone. The more likely outcome is that he will lose his accrued good time, he will be relegated to the SHU for several weeks or more. He will lose most privileges like phone, visitation and commissary. And finally, he is very likely going to be shipped to a higher security prison to finish out his sentence.

What state is he in? The Department of Corrections should have a link to add money, but only if he has an inmate number assigned to him. 

ask for the counselor or case manager

The judge is not in the same jurisdiction as the agency that oversees ICE. The judge gave the bail based solely on the charges levied against your father but the ICE hold supersedes the bail - therefore the jail cannot release him, and the bondsman will not write a bond.

It should be an amount that does not interfere with you taking care of your needs first. Inmates will always have enough to eat, so whatever amount you send gets them the little extras like candy, chips among many other things.  The typical spending limit is about $300-340 per month. But that is not including phone time or email. Whatever you can send will be well appreciated but do not go hungry sending more than you can afford.

InmateAid's services work for families and friends of inmates in every prison, jail and detention center in the United States. Some of the value and benefit varies from facility to facility, if you have a more specific question about a service feel free to email us at aid@inmateaid.com

Juvenile offenders are normally only allowed visits from their immediate family members - mother, father and maybe siblings - no friends. Call the facility beofre you go to make certain of all their rules

Here is how it works... it only takes one idiot to think what your relative did is something that merits an attack. If that occurs, your relative will ahve to stand up for himself - beat the shit out of the guy if necessary - that will be that. If things go the other way and he didn't defend himself well, the staff will isolate him or transfer him. If there is any notion that he is in imminet danger

jail time might slow him down a bit, we doubt it.

We are not experts on prop 57, but the general idea is that the early release is NOT for people with violent crimes on their record. Unfortunately, he is probably going to do the entire bid.
