The short answer is that all felons know that they can NEVER be around a firearm, regardless of whose it is. If he was arrested and they found firearms, there is not going to be much of a chance to get that dismissed unless the warrant was dirty. We have seen felons get minimum of five years for as little as an empty shell casing in their garage from 30 years ago. It is a very serious offense

You will have to be accompanied by an adult, preferably a relative.

You may write him at the address you have. You will need his eight digit inmate ID number (xxxxx-xxx). You can use our letter service, it is reliable and convenient. Once you get in touch with him, they use an email system called CorrLinks. It is an internal, closed program that you can login to from corrlinks.com, but he will have to invite you.

The letter means that "when he is released", he is to report to the probation Office (by web portal) within 30 days of that. He will most likely not be released earlier than his out-date. That pretty much never happens. One small bit of advice, please tell him that once is is out, that he cannot take the probation officer lightly.

This will be a bit of a lengthy process, but the mother of his children should hold a heavy advantage in the approval department. The ASPC is very good about the visitation and are going to find a way to approve you so that he may see his children. BUT, you must be as kind, humble and respectful when dealing with the warden's office. Do not come across as entitled...

Let's pretend that the Bill passes. It will not go into effect until late next year if it is not held up politically. Then the State will produce a document that will outline how the Bill will work and who exactly may benefit from it. Then the inmates that think they fit within the parameters of this law's guidelines will make their application. The application is reviewed and he is accepted. He goes back to his original sentence that is

This is NOT a new law, it is a misintrepation of THE law. This Missouri Supreme Court ruling is considered a "legislative blunder", we are not certain of it's impact on any of the few hundred pending cases.
