Using only the information you've given us, our opinion (and we are NOT lawyers) is that the bond is set at arraignment not during the warrant phase. Our instincts tell us that they owe money to the courts for child support or some fine that has triggered the warrant. You can call the Clerk of the Court and find out how the warrant was written. Your answers are in that document.

The prisons do not keep inmates beyond their release date unless there is something like a detainer or that the inmate caught a new charge. You can contact the judge's office who originally sentenced him and see what the actual sentence was. And then the clerk of the court to see if there is anything pending in that jurisdiction.

The online letter is the most reliable. Inmates have to call you, you cannot call in and ask to speak to them. Therefore, the letter can initiate contact but then the inmate would have to call you.

None of the choices are "the best", and he is going to take it hard no matter how you deliver it. Our advice is to get it over sooner rather than later so that he has time to heal. In person, if he is likely to make a scene this would be the least favorable. On the phone, you only have 15 minutes, and in a letter you can really think about what you want to say. Therefore, we think...
