You can't, such transfers are at the discretion of the Court and the facility and only made in extraordinary circumstances...if he's awaiting trial, he'll be held where his trial will be conducted, and if he's already sentenced, he'll do his time where he did his crime...they could not care less about the hardship distance causes for a family.

Deb, if your husband has been in prison for any length of time, you know that absolutely nothing is going to be done about it.    If Staff didn't do anything about it at the time, nothing will happen.   Be glad that he is in lock-down where he can't be hurt.   There's a reason he got stabbed, and he may not want that reason advertised, or he would have filed Admin Remedies by now. \n\nPrison life is one big "cover-up" and attorneys fees start at $1000.00 for a deposit to look at your paperwork.   And you will find a serious shortage of witnesses willing to testify about what or why it happened.   The pro bono people are much too busy trying to get innocent people released after years of incarceration, instead of working for free on a yard stabbing, which probably happens twice a day.\n\nIf you're new to this, this is simply life in prison for them.   I knew a young man who was gang-raped and died from the injuries because the FCI only had one doctor for 2000 men.   I knew a diabetic inmate who died in his wheelchair outside the med unit, even tho other inmates had tried to get attention for him.   If you have a heart attack in prison, you are dead. \n\nI understand that you're angry, but you will burn yourself out trying to find any sympathy from 99% of the outside population, including the media.   Turn to God or whatever you believe in, because you're not going to get a lot of help elsewhere.\n\nGood luck to you and your husband.

Then what you do, is find someone just out of prison. tell him if he does the tat for free. You will give him a lift to his parole agent and all his job interviews for the next 6 weeks. Then you get both without overtime

Each state has its own set of sentencing guidelines.\n\nAs to the other apart of your statement, the charge would stick, as long as the person lives...additional charges would be filed if should they die as a result of the action. And NO, the judge isn't going to lenient because you're a lousy shot!

Wait and see how long the appeals process takes.\n\nI'm guessing he'll hang on Nov 1st 2008.

The sentence will be determined at his trial/court date with the judge.  Right now there is probably a bench warrant out on him, which means he could be picked up and held at any time.  \n\nHe needs to get an attorney and contact the courts.  It will just get worse for him if he doesn't.

That's absolutly terrible!  I think you need to get a better lawyer.  2 1/2 years is ridiculous.  He needs to stop playing around, and get this resolved for you so you can get closure and begin to heal.  Check out this link below it's for the National Organization for Victims Assistance they promote the rights of victims of crime and crisis everywhere.  I know it sounds superheroish but they should be able to help or at the very least point you in the right direction.  If you just need to talk to someone, the churches in your city, any denomination, can help.  They are always willing.  Good luck!

Hi\n\n    I know this is not what you may want to hear, first of all you said your boyfriend is locked up. He should be happy that you are even sticking by his side while being locked up because as far as I can see what can he do for you while he is locked up. On the other hand if you really love him and want to stick by him totally understandable that is a choice only you can make. I would I advice you to just talk to him and tell him how he makes you feel when he accuse you of things that are not true. If he understands then great if not I would say this realationship is maybe not for you if trust can not be found. I hope I helped!

If he's in jail right now, you have a good to great chance of getting his rights terminated by a court, but you will have to come up with some money for an attorney.  You COULD do it yourself, but it could get tricky.  Also, if the termination does go through, I DEFINITELY would not let my "fiance" adopt her until you two are married.

Ask them for trial dates.  Understand that serious trial (rape, murder) takes a long time.  There are many parts to the trial and sentencing.  I would start off with sentencing.  You see the inmate and the judge.  You will hear comments from the victim and his/her family, and the inmate's family and friends.  After that, the judge gives the final sentence and the inmate is taken away.\n\nIf you want to see a less drawn out trial, check out the municipal court and see a DUI case.  It usually only last a day.

My daughter was murdered in February.\n\nThe killer is in jail and there is still no date set for trial. I can't imagine that he will be found "not guilty" so haven't concerned myself much with that.\n\nI would imagine that prison is probably the safest place for him. Murdering a high school student doesn't make you a very popular person.\n\nHave you spoken with the Prosecutor about your concerns? Do you have Victim's Assistance available to you for free counseling?\n\nYou will probably find it helpful to do both of the above. They've helped me. The Prosecutor has been able to educate me about the process sufficiently so that I have a high degree of confidence that he will be found guilty and likely be sentenced to life in prison\n\nTherapy has been helpful to deal with not only the profound grief but also the incredible amount of anger.\n\nI sincerely hope that everything works out for you. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more info or just have somebody to listen.\n\nDrew Crecente, Director\nJennifer Ann's Group\nhttp://www.JenniferAnn.org

Even if I loved this person I would seek legal justice.  What was done is a crime and unless you go through the courts you cant ever reslove this matter.  That is a large amount of money and it is all going against your husbands name ruining his credit.  Yes it is hard to bring a family member to justice but it must be done to teach him his lesson.  he will just be going to jail not death row.  Dont feel guilty for doing what is nesseccary.  I realize that your mother in law has issues about it but it is  your husbands good name and credit that is being destroyed not her's.  You have to do what  you have to do and she will get over it.

Can't help with that state, but there is a wonderful support and information group at http://prisontalk.com\nand someone in the N.C. forum can probably help.\nI've got a "someone special" locked up, too, and this group has helped me a great deal.

Yes, you can.  Only the court that imposed that restriction can lift it.  He will need to petition the court to have that portion of his sentence set aside.\n\nNo, the punishment does not seem extreme.  The carnage on the roads from drunk drivers is equal to repeating 9/11 every 38 days!  We get into a tizzy over terrorism yet turn a blind eye to drunk drivers.  That's the insanity of the whole thing!\n\nIf your b/f no longer drinks, that's a good thing.  He will need a good attorney to try to have his right to operate reinstated.  If he has 27 years of clean living behind him, maybe he has a shot.

#1 (No BS Solution)\n\nDude gets convicted on 1 September and recieves the death penalty.\n\nCourt sends him to the clink and sets the execution date for 1 September of the next year.\n\nCourt appoints a RETIRED JUDGE to be the appeals Judge.  He has access to  his own courtroom 24/7.  (If he wants to get his retirement, he has to take these cases.  We could keep a roster of the old geezers).\n\nNO MORE DELAYS!!!\n\nDefense counsel can go nuts, claim what they want, whine cry, present evidence, call witnesses, whatever.\n\nGive the dude exclusive rights to pursue all the crap that now takes 20 years.\n\nIf he comes up with something, his personal Judge can now delay to consider, order another trial, overturn the verdict, whatever is fair.\n\n1 September, if there are no changes, execute him.\n\n1 Year, all the appeals you want, be fair, fry soon if you lose.
