Is he in a city, state or federal institution? Unfortunately there are a lot of things that can cause your son to loose good time for his bad behavior. All jails, detention centers, prisons, camps and penitentiaries have an "Inmate Handbook" that is issued upon arrival. Every inmate is given one and in most cases copies are available to parents and family members if requested. Some are even found on-line. While incarcerated, your son is under the rules of his "house" they can invoke any of the rules cited in their handbook as a form of discipline.
You may call the facility where he is being held and speak with his counselor to inquire about the incident that garnered your son's extended time. I don't think that it would be worth the time and money that it would take to fight this. By the time it gets into court his six months would be up. He will not be able to receive any type of compensation for his stay beyond his original sentence any way.
Tell your son to pipe down and mind his mouth. He is to "short" to be causing himself unnecessary trouble. One hundred and eighty days isn't as long as it seems...he's made it this far.
Rest Mom, he'll be home soon. Just pray that he has learned his lesson and doesn't have to go back to jail for any reason. I will pray with you and for you.

They can not give him more time, unless he is charged with a new crime inside of prison but they can take away good time, that is not something they have to get, and is often taken away fi someone misbehaves, If an officer wrote him up for some offence ( such as causing a distrubance) then the prison would have a hearing, and if they decide he did do this, they take away his good time. ( in privious years I used to set on the board in a Federal prison that decided this for thier inmates)
So they did not give him more time, they merely took away good time from him making him service the remainder of his orginal sentnece.
He is not released untill he walks out the doors, and good time is only something they sometimes get.

Sounds to me like there is some information not getting to you, sounds to me like he racked up a violent charge as it is sometimes called. Just yelling at an officer doesn't constitute another charge and denial of gain time/good time. I worked corrections for years. Only unless there is a detainer from another jurisdiction will they hold an inmate pending release or they racked up a street charge. Someone isn't telling you the whole fact of the story. You can call the institute and find out more from perhaps his case manager.

Most likely he got pushy with a person in authority and they just let him know who is boss. What should you do? Well, You can't really do much. He's already in jail so he has very few rights. Best he can do is be good.

Yes they can do that to your son. Until he's out the door and no longer on parole or probation, he is their dog. If he bites, he gets smacked.
The biggest favor you can do for your son is to quit trying to fix his problem. Let him take his punishment like a man. You talk about him like he's a poor victim. He isn't. He's a criminal. Until he's paid his debt, he gets nothing else.

Yes they can. Your son went through a fair hearing and they found him guilty. You don't lose six months for being loud with an officer. It seems he hasn't learned his lesson.

Sorry, but chances are they can and they will. I know someone who got their release date extended for fighting. I'm sorry that it happend to your son. Don't waste your money on a lawyer - there isn't much you can do except be there for him. I'm sure he's miserable right now about it.

It sound's harsh...6 extra months? you have to speak to the captain in charge ...call the jail and and ask for the captain in charge...explain to him what is going on....maybe there is more you don't know...but speak to the captain ...have his inmate number and cell number ready.......good luck ...

let him stay in it wont hurt him and maybe he will grow up a little. sounds like he still has not learned his lesson in life. if he is an adult let him deal with his own dealings. be strong
