I started this all three years ago by being stupid and getting caught driving while suspended three times in two months as well as having one from two years earlier. I had no means of paying for a lawyer at that time so i took a public defender. They sentenced me to 15 days in jail or 70 days of house arrest for the misdemeanors that they had all in one court day. I chose the 70 days of house arrest but due to unforseen circumstances the phone line wasnt on in time and when i went into court they had issue a new warrant for that fourth driving while revoked bumping it up to a class d felony. They took me right there from the court room on the felony bond and then held me on that bond and the no bond hold for seventy days without telling me anything until my gf at the time (fiance now) sat in the public defenders office and made him find out what was going on. Later that day the judge called the jail released the no bond hold but said that since i was still being held on the felony bond (4500) that I couldnt be released until i posted it. I was out three hours later after being held for ten weeks straight in county. I talked to the public defender and as it ended up I took five years paper with a three year backup. Just over a month later I received a violation for something else stupid and my probation was revoked an reinstated with a thirty day shock sentence. I did twenty eight days on the sentence and was released. Now two years later I got another probation violation and even though my PO recommended thirty days shock with continuance the judge went over her head an revoked my probation imposing the full three year sentence. My public defender hadnt even said that was an option she had just been talking about the new misdemeanor and this thirty days runnin concurrent so needless to say I made it clear to the judge (in a respectful way, when asked about effective counsel) that i felt I had been poorly represented. He gave me a day to turn myself in and start my time but disagreed with the inneffective counsel. So here I am and here are my questions. If I didnt turn myself in after the twenty four hours so that i could spend just a couple more days with my two children what will they do? I am under the impression that it will be absconding and just thirty days concurrent with my three years. And when i do turn myself in that if its just a couple days late they wont keep me there they will go ahead and ship me off to DOC is this true? Also the judge said credit for all time served thus far that will include these 98 days I already have on this case right? The law in missouri appears to read 15% for first time nonviolent class c and d felons so since I would fall into that category and have this 98 days i did earlier how long can i expect to be incarcerated? Also i notice lots of people have a time under their signature until their loved one is home. How long will it take until I know when I will be released? The anticipation is the worst of all of it. I am scared to death to be going to prison for the first and only time in my life and hate the fact that there is no way i can explain to my one and two year old that i dont want to leave them but that i have too. Please help I can use any advice you can give me. ]]> Headed to Prison asebacher` http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=451673 http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=451672&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:04:38 GMT My sister in law was arrested in St George, Utah for obstruction of justice, she had court today but I cant recieve calls from her as I onlyhave a cell and I live in Arizona.

Everytime I send money they take the full amount and put it towards his court costs. Is this legal? I thought they could only take a percentage of what was placed on his books. Of course they won't discuss this with me and reply to the I-60 he sent in was that I should call the trust fund (which I have done) and they should be able to explain it to me since i am the one puttin the money on his books but the trust fund people say they cant tell me anything.

Does anyone know if it is legal for them to take the entire amount deposited into that trust fund account to pay his outstanding court costs?

They feel like he will NEVER be able to take care of me and my daughter because he's a felon and will never be able to get a decent job. At first I thought that we could do it. I was hoping I move here to Texas and get a job and wait for him in December to be released. Now I'm here in Tx and can't find a job, and he's coming out in December w/out a POT to PISS in...Things are not the way I plan...He is a good loving person and I love him dearly, but I admit I do think about our future.

And now I'm thinking if I made a mistake falling in love with a man who may never be able to take care of home.

It was a normal letter like all the others. Could it be because he's going to be transferred? BOP web site says he's still at the same place?
