Depending on the prison system that your inmate is in, the typical offender serves 85% of the time imposed. This 15% represents "good time" credited when the sentence begins. Assuming that the inmate has all of their good time intact, 85% of 480 months is 408 months of which 360 have been served. That leaves 48 months or exactly four years left to be served.

There is not a lot that can be done post-conviction. When an offender signs a plea deal, they are also signing away the right to an appeal. If he had any prior criminal history, this would have some bearing on the length of his sentence. The dollar amount of the crime and the length of the sentence seem excessive to us, too. But, if there are other circumstances that you (we) are not aware of there might be more to

He will most likely have his privileges cut to the bare minimum (no phone, no commissary and no visits), but if he did not commit a chargeable felony like DUI, it is more than likely he will not get additional time other than the full amount of his sentence. Meaning, if the good time credits he earned are included in this 35 day out-date, he will serve the time that was "good time" which is still a part of the

Same as other jails. Inmates must do 85% of their sentence unless the jail over-crowding becomes so massive they let the low level, non-violent offenders out early.

There is no way to rush the process. The Parole/Probation Officers have a case load that is unknown to the public. Calling them and trying to hurry up the process might have the reverse effect.

This depends on his criminal history, was anyone hurt and how much damage was done to other's property. Stealing a car is grand theft auto, and it's not a game. He will probably do some time but we are not sure how much.

He will have to do 85% (good behavior is credited at the beginning of the sentence and is 15%) of 12 months minus the 31 days credit.

Extra classes DO NOT give sentence reductions unless they are written into State law. County jail time IS definitely considered "time served" and is credited as time on any sentence imposed. The calculations absolutely take all time in custody against any term, even if the offender is only kept for an hour, it counts as one day. The county jail personnel is correct, that this adjustment is up to the state prison staff to apply time from county to the

There is something about your question that is not right. If there is a release date, they must release the inmate within that date, period. Your inmate might not have the story straight either. You can go on the TDCJ website and see for yourself what the REAL release date is. Rest assured, that the date that is on the official release papers is the date he will be released.

If they are in a county jail, then yes they are moved to a Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facility depending on the security level designation decided during the period before movement.
