My Son Was Picked Up On A Probation Violation
:wallbang:My son was picked up and put in jail on sunday for a PV. He was told that he would have an answer by wednesday about getting out. He still does not have an answer. Is there anything I can do? He does not have a court hearing or has not been able to talk to anyone since tuesday. We live in Oregon

He is an adult which means ther eisnt much they can or have to tell you. Talk to his Attorney is likely he/she can get some answers.

Have you checked with the jail about their policies on medication, and whether you may take his medications to the jail for his use?

The jail told me that I could not bring in his meds and that if he wanted them that he would have to pay for them. I don't think that is right. As for the attorney, well he was court appointed for my son when the crime happened 5 yrs ago, and tells me he is no longer his attorney. So now do we have to ask the court for a new attorney? :confused:

You might make some calls to local Attorneys

How long can they hold him before they have to let him go? He was giving 5 yrs probation and has only served 3 months.
He was given five years probation and has been on probation for only three months, but was last represented by a lawyer five years ago?
He can inquire with the court, or you can inquire on his behalf, about how he would petition for a new court-appointed lawyer.
Re: My Son Was Picked Up On A Probation Violation
He was sentenced for a Measure 11 crime to do 5 yrs in OYA and then 5 yrs Probation. He got out in August of this year after doing the 5 yrs and then started doing the 5 yrs probation. That is why he has not had a lawyer in 5 yrs.
So if I understand you, either him or I must go to court and request a new lawyer? But what can be done about the jail not giving him his medication, is that something I need to let the judge and possibly the new lawyer know about?
