Re: my wife in jail

Contact a qualified criminal defense lawyer to discuss filing a writ of habeas corpus to challenge your wife's continued confinement. There are only a few exceptions to the general rule that all persons are entitled to a bond. I don't know if your wife's case falls into one of those exceptions. Only a good criminal lawyer will be able to help you sort out her rights. Good luck.
