Default Judge says yes- jail says No

Hi, my boyfriend is incarcerated at a county jail for 7months for an F2 robbery he has 33days termed served and has since served 60days. On his diposition sheet signed by the Judge and the attorneys, the judhe wrote that he was eligible for re-entry programs. The deputy warden gave him the green light to complete the paperwork, however the counselors at the jail are saying he cannot do the re rentry _(DRC) program because of his charge. He previously did 90 days in a halfway house before sentencing which the judge praised but couldnt grant time served. My question is can the jail say no he cant of the judhe signed off that he could? And what can me and his family do to help?

Any input is very much appreciated!
Thanks

In a word, generally yes. Eligibility as viewed from the bench does not equal eligibility based upon current agency practice. Some courts routinely include boilerplate about programming but it does not mean it will take place...
