No but my son could be facing it at any minute.. He got arrested here for disturbing the peace then fought with the police.. Resisted arrest .. Now he is facing around 20 days in jail but he is out of hand again with the drinking and I may have to call the police again because I have a dying mother and husband here.. i don't know what to do.. It scares me.. if He resists arrest again he WILL GO TO PRISON.. Please tell me your story.. Love D

My b/f was arrested last Sept. for DUI it was his 4 or 5th one, and he was still on probation from his last one. We went to court today for sentencing, and they took him once it was over. I'm scared for him, scared for me, and just don't really know what to expect. He was sentenced to 5 years with the chance of early release upon completion of a alcohol program that takes place in prison. He WILL serve 1 year of his sentence for sure. I'm not sure he can handle prison. He likes to think he's this angry fighter, but really he's a shy softy. He was shaking when the judge ordered prison, and I'm just so so so afraid for him. I wrote a prayer to God the other night, and showed it to him today just before they took him off. He wasn't allowed to take it with him, so I hope he remembers it. I am pretty sure from what I've read that I won't be able to see him for 3 or 4 months. I'm just frightened for him, and what scares me more is that I don't know the system so I can't work the system to his advantage. I'm afraid it will break him like it has me, and if he breaks it won't be good for him. I just don't want him to give up and get in trouble. ya know? He's 38 and he still has a lot to learn about life, he really didnt grow up in a hard knocks life like I did. And even I couldn't handle jail overnight....

My fiance was arrested on probation violation and spent 2 months in jail and the past 30 days in court ordered treatment facility. he is to be released on friday but not sure if going back to jail or home ...court scheduled on Monday for resentencing.

Pos Hopefully he gets to come home... Mine was told he's going to serve a year for sure no doubt. I hope that was a scare tactic. He's been making better decisions this past year since being with me. But I guess that doesn't count for anything. I just hope he'll open his mind and take full advantage of what the programs in prison offer him. I'm going to try to visit him in county tomorrow and let him know that I believe in him. I believe he's strong enough to endure classes and all that it will take to complete the required work in the next 12 months. He knows I'm very loyal and that I won't stray while he's away, and that I'll visit him every chance they let me. Even if he's 3 hours away, I'll make that trip with a big fat smile on my face. Last night was so hard for me, and I was just on the love sleep trying to sleep, I can't imagine how hard it is for him. I just bought 90 envelopes lots of paper, lots of pens, colored pens and all that good stuff to write him letters, make them colorful, and remind him that he is loved. Good luck on your side.
