Restitution means paying back the money that was "lost during the commission of the crime". If the restitution is $6,000, it sounds like she is getting a VERY good deal to avoid doing more time. Her PO seems like a reasonable, decent person. Most POs show zero tolerance for violators. We strongly recommend taking this offer and doing whatever she can to paying the fee and then keep her nose clean.

Sex crimes have some narrow classifications and none are designed to have much wiggle room for the offender. Federal sentences (and we are guessing this was a crime prosecuted by US Department of Justice) have no possibility for parole in any case. This has nothing to do with the crime, its the same for all federal inmates. 

No, unfortunately, there are very few prisons that allow for conjugal visits anymore.

The different number is the "special sauce" that makes the calls cheaper. InmateAid's computer algorithm determines the best price based upon the rate calculator on the phone carrier's website. Sometimes the best is a local number, other times it's a completely different state altogether. We don't make the rules, we use their rules to make your money last a lot longer.

When the release date says, "Unknown", it could mean a few different things. One, that the calculation on their sentence has not been put in the system; two that the inmate has cooperated with the government and is awaiting the sentence reduction; three that they have RDAP and the adjustment has not been done yet; four that they have a detainer and are awaiting additional charges to be added and then determined.

yes you can reinvent yourself if you put your mind to it

You can try calling and see if a staff member will do it for you. It is against the rules in most places, but sometimes if you're nice they will make an exception. The alternative is to write them a letter or postcard to let them know what's up.

It would be very risky to attempt a visit with your situation. There is a high likelihood that you would be held for the county that has a warrant out for you.

Unless there is something new, the inmates at Meade Co Detention Center are only released early for extreme overcrowding. County jail time is normally short term anyway and outside of the GED program, there aren't any classes to take. The vocational and educational programs are more robust in state and federal prison because the length of sentence is normally a lot longer.

You have to start at 85% which is almost 41 months. For him to get any further reduction you will have to revert to the Judgement and Commitment which outlines what he is eligible for if anything above the 15% good time. The new "non-violent law " is actually a federal law and does not pertain to state sentences.
