Parole violators are brought before the same judge that imposed the original sentence. This is problematic because the judge first gave your husband a lenient ruling.

Yes - sometimes, there are some instances where inmates are allowed visits even if they are relegated to the SHU. You might call the facility and ask to speak with their case manager before taking the trip to visit so that you are certain they are able to receive you.
