Law does change, and law includes both state statute and 'case law'. You may want to study the Newcomb case as but a starting point. You may pay a private attorney to review your loved one's situation and provide a formal legal opinion at this time. I suggest you be wary of free advice. It is wonderful to know that you support your loved one through this time in his life - so very many people who are incarcerated are very much alone. I also suggest that when release time is imminent your spouse get a 'temporary sponsor' (same gender person who has years of solid recovery and wants to share the gift...) from a strong Open A.A. group: One such group is MainStreeters in the metro area, a strong group that reaches out to provide service to the community in an ongoing manner; the group meets at noon every day of the year.
