How much harm was done without a weapon? Was the great bodily harm inflicted after the injured was unable to defend themselves? There seems to be more to this story as DAs have huge case loads and rarely get involved prosecuting inmates already in the system. Usually, fights like this cost the inmate "good time", not more time. BUT, if there are special circumstances then anything is possible and if additional charges are filed, more time is possible. 

The parole dates are randomly posted based upon the schedules of the board overseeing the hearings. We always encourage inmates to take as many courses as are offered and to follow the programming outlined by their counselors. Compliance to programming goes a long way toward impressing the decision-makers. The alternative looks like the inmate is being defiant or uncooperative.

Most likely, but you should take this as a wake-up call. Some visitors come to an institution with contraband and end up an inmate themselves.

Once an inmate is settled into their routine, the time goes by pretty quickly, all things considered. But, if you are close with your family, you will witness the time dragging on for them as there are greater hardships on your loved ones on the outside. The loss of income that is caused by the incarceration creates huge issues for the family trying to pay bills. That is tough on an inmate mentally carrying that baggage knowing what they did

That is a pretty general question. The easy answer is "fire him" and get another attorney

That is a risk that will have to be determined by the person lending the money. There is no easy answer here. It is all going to be in the hands of the bail people in your area and if you are able to convince them that their risk is worth taking. Normally, the requirement is ten percent of the total bond amount

The phone service at the California State Prison - Sacramento is GlobalTel (GTL). Unless there is a disciplinary hold on your inmate, he should be able to make all the calls he wants provided he has funds on his books or in an Advanced Pay account. If you are long distance to Sacramento, the InmateAid Discount Phone Service is something you should look into. We can save about $4.50 per call instate and more if your are out of state.

We are uncertain about work release marriages - we do not think they will approve it. Usually inmates with less than a year on their sentence are not eligible to get married. To communicate with a particular prison or jail about information for a particular inmate in that jail, you will have to contact them directly. With so little time left before their actual freedom, other than probation, why are you rushing to get married? Why not wait so that

That is largely a myth, it makes for good television but it is not how the system works. Certainly, prison labor seems tantamount to slavery as there is very little pay but inmates that get to work outside the institution in farm duty is a pretty decent detail for the inmates. They are outside, they are working at something somewhat rewarding and it gives them something to look forward to and a job is better than sitting around being unproductive.
