Default How long will he serve on a 3 year sentence?

My fiance just got 3 years in ill doc for aggravated dui/3 on revoked license. First felony and time in and we live in Missouri got it in ill 20 minutes from home. I have no idea how ill prisons work. How much time since not violent does anyone think he will serve. His lawyer thought he was getting 90 days jail with probation. Whitch is what probation n parole in ill reconomended but judge gave him 3 years. Could anyone who knows anything about ill or time served please let me know ur opinion because Im just lost without clue what to expect. I would very much appreciate it thankyou.

Bobbi, you can find more information in the Illinois forum. Click on this link: Illinois

If no one online at this moment knows the answer to your questions, read through the threads in the Illinois forum and you may find the information you need, or at least feel a little more familiar with the Illinois prison system. Please PM me (by clicking on my name and selecting send a message) if you need help navigating the site!

You're welcome... And welcome to PTO. You came to the right place, it just takes a little patience to figure out this huge site. But I am very sure someone will be able to answer your questions, maybe just not at this very moment. Hang in there!

The site is a little difficult to navigate at first, because it's so huge. And right now we're having some server issues, so the "search" function is disabled... that makes it a little harder to find things. Stick around, though! This is an awesome place for information, support, and venting! Everyone here has gone through something similar, and we all remember that panic when first being introduced to the prison system. You are not alone.

Welcome PrincessBobbi, I'm terrible with computers too but don't tell the higher ups that! Actually they know but hopefully it got a little smile out of you. Anyway, what helped me learn my way around a little is I shrunk down each of the main forums on the front page of PTO. Then I opened them one at a time, poked around a little bit, if there was something in there interesting to me I explored it and kept it open if I liked it. If not, shut it back up and left it alone until i got more comfortable! Needless to say there's a couple places I still don't go lol

Husbands and Boyfriends might be of interest to you which is HERE And I always recommend Day Brighteners for a laugh or stuff to send your loved one for them to laugh which can be found HERE Otherwise it looks like SimplyMe got you pretty well set up!

If you need anything, please don't hesitate to PM me (click my name and click on send private message) and if I am not on I will get back to you as soon as I am which is VERY often. In the mean time, take care of YOU!

Snowwolf

He'll serve 50% of his sentence. So a year and a half.
