180 days and you should have reached that. You need to talk to the public defenders office or a private attorney and have a 701 motion filed.

Since you did not say what he is in jail for, I cannot comment except to say maybe you should make permanent plans that do not include him. Just a reaction to the length of time he has been in jail without any obvious movement.
