    Default Re: Detention After Serving Sentence

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Illinois

    How is it legal for a county to keep someone in jail, after serving their sentence, weeks past their release date, because the county probation department isn't adequately equipped to install a SCRAM device in that person? It should not take weeks past someone already serving their sentence to obtain such devices and put them on the person.
    Does the person in question have an attorney? If so, what is the attorney doing about that? If they have an attorney and the attorney is not vigorously dealing with the situation then somebody needs to either be lighting a fire under that attorney, or hiring a new one. If this is a widespread problem in the community then perhaps getting the media and the ACLU involved might be appropriate.

    Well, let's see...

    Is there a probation/parole hold on him? If probation is doing his supervision, have they put a hold on him? Has he CALLED probation to ask them what the deal is or is this a post of purely supposition??

    And last I checked, no one puts a SCRAM unit IN someone...
