Will an inmate get out early if i pay the restitution?
Can I pay the full amount of restitution owed by an inmate to get out early if released to a halfway house for his remaining 40 days
Helene Daleo
That might make a compelling argument for early release from halfway house - or at least home confinement.

That might make a compelling argument for early release from halfway house - or at least home confinement. What we would advise, is to have your inmate get a stipulation from their counselor on a "what if I pay my restitution (by borrowing from a relative, will this get me to the door any sooner". You want to know that it will have some bearing before you pay it.
