[QUOTE="Toomanytears, post: 743406, member: 22580"] Good morning.. we have been down this road before. Sorry to say, many times. If all goes as planned, he will go to the processing center for the state which is very close to our home. Then he will be transferred at a undesignated time (most occur in the middle of the night) to an undesignated destination. He will be permitted to call once he arrives there safely. That is when we will know his location. His “home” prison. In the eyes of the defendant, a state prison sentence is much more tolerable than a county sentence. As previously stated in the comments, county is through glass. State allows physical contact (brief hugs, snacks, longer visitation time) which is A HUGE deal when incarcerated and for the family. Re: our grandson ( he will be 9 in Feb).. we went to court to be granted permission to take him when he was much younger (3 -4 yrs old). I can honestly say we will not do that again. He’s is now more impressionable and we told his Dad from the get-go upon returning home last time, we cannot or will not spend the funds to do that again. That is something he will have to get permission from his ex to do. He loves his Daddy. It feels heartless for me to write this, but I just can’t do it again. He will have opportunities to possibly work towards a degree BUT his sentence may not be long enough. Smh. That’s the “ kicker”. He has ALWAYS done extremely well when in a super structured setting. We get along better. He. Is. Sober. Our biggest immediate worry.. I believe his also.. his long use of prescribed MAT treatment, Suboxone. He has tried to get off of it this past year. All documentation states he is a candidate for long term use ( already 13+ years) - can his body take the withdraw? Will he survive the detox? We have begged him to get off of it prior to coming back, through a reputable detox program but he left 3 days into it twice. Smh again. I guess I’m putting the cart before the horse. FIRST is the hearing in a couple of days. We will see how that all unfolds. If allowed to leave the courthouse, next will be keeping him grounded to ACCEPT what is. That will be the challenge for us all. [/QUOTE]
