text: hey right now my husbands doing time in a state prison it sucks but about your friend if they have where they can work day for 2 days then he wont be surving the full sentence although there is a such thing as a judicial release basically he has to serve 30 days in state prison no jail no correctional facility he has to be in prison for the 30 days then his lawyer can file a judicial release but that means he could be on parole for like 5 years,or house arrest.Most of the time at least where my hubby is the judge is a bitch and on top of that a dyke so shes pretty hard on men and hasnt gave a judicial in like 10 years although we filed i even wrote a letter to the judge but  did me know good im sorry to hear about your friend i know it sucks but if they did the crime they will do the time but i would check into the judicial realease what was the charge anyways casue that also plays a big part if he is harmful the society they wont even consider it until a parole hearing has come up and about appealing it you better have damn good evidence as to why he shouldnt be there and be able to prove his innocence cause if you appeal it and the judge still finds him guilty they can up his time it all depends on the judge i hope my advice helps you good luck and tell your friend to hang in there it will go by fast is it there first time being incarcerated i know my husbands not going back he dont belong in there hes not no convict well he is now but hes nothing like the people there murders,child molesters shit like that thats sad he got caught with a stolen 4wheeler and got 6 months but the good thing about it he gets out on my b-day jan. 15th i cant wait ok well good luck
