It's very hard to guess at a sentence without knowing all of the variables that determine the sentencing guidelines - even then we are not lawyers so it's an educated guess. If this is his second charge in a year, the judge is not going to like hearing that - we predict some county jail time for sure. If there were injuries or damages, this could get ugly. 

The short answer is "yes". A three year sentence (36 months) with 15% good time drops it to 31 months. 

It's called Letters from Inmates. Inmates write you back to our return address. We scan the letters they send and email the notification to you. It is a very popular service, the Users do not have to give their real address to the inmate (or the prison staff or other nosy inmates for that matter) if they want to keep that private.

Yes, and unlike California, Arizona charges for their visitation application, the fee pays for your background check which is the approval process. 

If your inmate is in the Mississippi Department of Corrections facility, then he has been sentenced to a state crime. The State decides what custody level the inmate serves his time. If your inmate was transferred to MS DOC, from a county facility, you will have to resubmit the visitation paperwork. If he gets moved within the MS DOC system, your paperwork will be on file and be valid wherever you visit.

The PO would file his complaint/finding to the presiding judge as a "Violation of Probation" and give the reasons for the violation. That is the charge. The judge will have to decide what to do next depending on their findings of facts related to the violation. He might have to sit in county jail for a few weeks or sent back to finish his original sentence.

There needs to be a motion filed with the Court requesting a hearing for the reasons stated above. This isn't a simple as making a phone call. We would recommend using an attorney. If there are errors by the government, your inmate is entitled to free representation to address these errors if they exist.

Which state? there are two dozen Jefferson County's

In some cases like most county jail, you only need an ID. If you are going to state or federal inmate visitation you will need to fill out an application and gain approval before being allowed to visit. 

Sadly, it probably does. Criminal history plays a big part whether prison time is included in a sentence and for how long.
