Re: approx how much time?

Do you know if he's actually been charged with bail jumping? If so, he'll have to face sentence on that as well, likely consecutive to the 15 months. However, if he only failed to turn himself in but has not received a new charge yet than he'd be best off turning himself in right away. He likely only has to do the 15 months still. Also, they give one third off for good behavior. So, unless he's received new court papers charging bail jumping plan on being without him for 10 months.
