All inmates begin their sentence with the good time calculated in the first out-date. Inmates cannot get mroe good time, they can only lose what they are granted. In most state and all federal sentences the inmate must serve 85%. Getting a high school diploma and then adding college while locked up is the best thing your inmate could do for themselves. This will give him a real chance to succeed in society like most good citizens.

It would appear the next step would be to explore all your appellate options. If there were issues at trial that could be challenged on appeal due to judicial error, then there is a chance the case could be retried. If you want to challenge the length of the sentence, use a post-conviction attorney. This lawyer is going to have to find very similar cases where the "disparity in sentencing" would causes the court to force the judge rethink the

You can contact the Clerk of the Court where he is being sentenced. Once it is over, you can get the information from them just like attorneys do.

The 45 days is probably not going to earn any good time. That 45 days starts from the minute he was picked up, regardless of where he is or will be held.

Third time probation violation DUI is not going to end well. Depending on how much time is left on his original sentence, he will have to do at least what is left plus potentially more. If we are looking at more than a year, he might have to do it in state rather than county (county jail inmates are not usually there longer than a few months, they don't have the room for long-term inmates).

We can't really give you a definite answer as the various courts are dealing with DUIs in a more agressive manner. This is the second time which adds to the unknown. Was anyone hurt or was there property damage? The bst advice is to call the facility and ask to speak to the counselor.

On a 132 month sentence, with good time he's looking at 112.2 months which is nine years four months.

Hopefully there were no injuries associated with his drunk driving. We don't know the exact charges so guessing at a penalty is not the best thing to do. If there was a suspended sentence in the original charge, the amount of time in that Order will likely be the starting point for a prison sentence.

Something caused the sheriff or police to pick him up. What were those charges? If he was charged only as an illegal then he'll be held indefinitely until a judge determines what will happen. Without more specific information about the charges, we are barely guessing.

Yes - this could get ugly. Domestic violence with quite possibly an attempted murder charge added on, is probably why the bond was denied. The courts are having no problem handing out long, severe punishment for crimes against women - and rightfully so. The girl that was strangled is a weaker victim, your son being arrested five times is not going to look good to the judge making the decision on sentencing.
