My question involves criminal law for the state of: California.
A loved one has been sentenced to prison. The actual days to be served is 356. Can someone please give me some insight as what to expect. Said person is in county jail awaiting the next step. Info about putting money on books and is it true that the state prison takes a percentage of that. If we put money on the persons account now while he is in jail will that go with this person to prison and will they take a portion of that. Can they earn more credit while in there to reduce their time? Info about visiting and what we can send would be helpful. I have so many questions I don't know where to begin! Just unclear of what happens from here....the beginning.
Thank you to anyone that wants to help me!
