Depending on the final disposition of the case, if you have two years left on your sentence and get probation, then violate,,, most of the time the judge sends you back to do the time remaining on the original sentence.

They will likely call him to the administration building to sign for it, and that would be on their schedule as they are not treating this mail any different than the others - all incoming mail is opened, read and inspected for contraband before the handed out.

Whatever happened that caused his incarceration, he is going through some emotional swings especially if this is recent. He will go through several stages before he is able to actually confront his demons. He might be blaming you (not your fault, don't let this upset you), but it is more

Without knowing his prior criminal history, the facts of this case, was there violent or a weapon and the value of the crime, we have no idea what the minimum time served might be.
