Re: work release rules/laws
actually, i am not certain that is in fact the law. that rule seems somewhat county and/or judge specific. generally work release allows a defendant to remain in the county for their sentence and to serve the sentence at the discretion of said county. sometimes a judge will even allow a defendant to remain out of jail until they find a job then incarcerate them for the term of their sentence thereby making sure they do not go to jail until they are work release eligible.
if your spouse has a job to go to i would have his lawyer appear back before the sentencing judge and file a motion that would immediately allow him to start work release.
