The path to a judge's secretary runs through the courthouse, not through any direct listing you will find online. Here is how to navigate it. Call the Clerk of the Court in the jurisdiction where your family member was sentenced. When someone answers, explain that you need to contact the judge assigned to a specific case and ask for the judge's name and the courtroom or chambers number. The clerk's office maintains these assignments and can point you in

If the judge allows for parole, then there is one potential option for early release. There are "good time" credits which exist for all inmates. The caveat is that they have to remain in good standing with the prison staff, with no incidence reports or trips to the SHU for bad behavior. The good time usually represents about 15% off. Finally, if

If you want to use the service on the website, you will need to set up a profile. If you need help, please send us the inmate name, inmate ID, state and facility name and we will set it up for you.
Read moreIt depends on how badly they want you. If it is a minor offense like a fine, they will probably not have the sheriff or the US Marshal bring you in. Usually that type of offender gets caught in a traffic stop or something like that. Why not just pay the fine and not have to worry about the added cost associated with getting locked up like bail and a lawyer?
Read moreNorco is a state prison, part of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation system. It is formally known as the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) in Norco. It is not a county jail. That means he is now in the state prison system rather than a local county facility. The reason he was able to call you so quickly this time is likely because his information carried over from his previous placement. When inmates transfer within the same system,
Read moreVisitation is different in every prison system. Whether it is federal, state or state, they all have a set of rules that have to be followed - where your inmate may have to place you on a list. Some require a form to be filled out and background check performed (Arizona requires you to pay a fee for that check). Others allow you to come straight in with just a government ID. What prison are you thinking about visiting, we
Read moreWhether parole is possible depends entirely on the jurisdiction and the specific language in the sentencing order. In the federal system, there is no parole. Federal inmates serve 85 percent of their sentence with good time credits as the primary mechanism for earlier release. On a 36-month federal sentence, that works out to approximately 30 months served under ideal circumstances. With one year already completed, there would be roughly 18 months remaining under that calculation. In state systems,

If they are both in the TDCJ, the carrier is going to remain Securus but we will check to see if you need another number. The Texas number you have would be the same price you've been paying, but we found another number that would carve another $0.75 off the per-call price. Would you like that number?
Read moreA second probation violation, particularly one that has escalated from a misdemeanor to a felony level, puts your fiancé in a genuinely difficult position before the original sentencing judge in Virginia. Here is what typically happens. When someone violates probation, they go back before the judge who originally gave them probation instead of a longer sentence. That judge made a decision to show leniency the first time. A second violation signals to the court that the leniency was not
Read moreThe question you are asking is the right one, and the fact that you are asking it out loud suggests you already have a sense of the answer. That clarity deserves to be respected rather than talked around. Incarceration creates a specific kind of dynamic where an inmate's ability to act on their feelings is genuinely limited. They cannot show up, cannot provide, cannot demonstrate love through action in the ways that a relationship outside requires. Some people who
