Hey welcome iam sorry your hear but this is a good place.
Have you talked to the pd about seeing if you guys can at all reduced the amount of time he might get??
You can help him by writing to him as much as you can, write about anything and everything just be warned most places do check the mail. if you can see if the pd will let you do a letter of support and if any of your mates can do one too that can be given to the court.
Also work out a bit of a budget as to how much you can put on the phone and for his canteen and let him know that as well.
Iam really sorry your going though this but come hear as much as you want.

Forgot to tell you check with the place his in as to what you can and can't send.

He hasn't been sentenced yet. He has two pending cases. Several charges though. The worst charge is burglary and violation of probation. He didn't commit burglary. He was at his children's mother's place. She wouldn't talk to him so he forced his way in. He and she argued. I don't know how this is going to go down. I told him in a letter that if the option for house arrest was allowed to do it and I'd vouch for him as his sponsor. I'll do anything for this man. He hasn't written me yet so I'm getting scared that something happened. No one will tell me anything. He's been there a week tomorrow and he promised to write. I put money in his trust fund and I told him about it in the letter. I just miss him so much... Talking about him and what's been going on is helping me a little but I often cry...

Like SuchasLife has said, be careful of what you say (if you get a visit) or write. The DA's love to monitor all communication to use against your man. Even if its innocent, they will twist it to make it sound worse.

He can try to get his PD to offer a plea bargain to the DA, or counter what the DA offers; but likely hood this wont even be offered until he has gone to pretrial (determines if there is enough to take case to trial, and possibility that charges can be dropped).

I would also add, that if he feels in any way that his PD is not working for him - IMMEDIATELY request new council. PD's are lazy and really don't work for their clients - most only want to push for a plea deal, because that is considered a win.

As my friend Rew would say, if you are struggling emotionally and being able to function, go see your doctor to get on a perception medication to help you - believe me, you are going to need it. I was a zombie the first month when Hub was arrested and took over a year to find the right meds to help me and not make me feel numb.

Thought as weak, I know to be careful what I say. That is why I haven't sent my 2nd letter yet. It has a lot in there that is related to the cases. I don't think I'm going to send it with all that is in there. I don't want to be the reason why he has to be in there longer. I refer to his kid's mother and that he was tired and hungry for days .. even that could be used against him. PD's are very lazy. I am worried for him... There isn't a lot of choices for council in the county where he has to be represented. We have no money for a real lawyer.. though I am trying my best to get someone... His bond is so high... I just wish they would reduce it. I could get him out and we could both work on selling stuff to get money for a lawyer... that's the ideal way... but its not going to happen
