My brother is in a work-release program. He was also told (in writing) upon admit that he only has to wait 30 days. After 30 days, he applied for personal visits and was approved.
He started taking visits every week, no problem. Then a couple weeks into it, he was called in by another supervisor and told that his visit rights were "incorrectly approved" and his visit rights will be rescinded. He has to wait 120 days (1/2 time) before he can have personal visits.
He has not had any minor/major discline. The second supervisor said it was "standard" policy. But no one else in the entire place has to wait this long. The range of wait time is 30 days/45 days/60 days or every one else.
My brother suspects that the 2nd supervisor has a problem with him due to the fact that he was approved to pay only a reduced portion of the fees for work release. Does he have a case to sue?

It would be a waste of time and money. When it comes to law enforcement, the legal system will side with them everytime. They are not interested in "fair". AT ALL!!!!. Unless you have undeniable proof on video, they can do to him what they want, when they want, AND, in some cases with the video, they still get away with that kind of thing and much worse. The more he makes waves, the more likely his paperwork will be delayed when the time comes for him to be released all together. It isn't right, but it is realtiy. Sorry. Just do the time and get out....that's the best thing for him...and to stay out!

This is America, you can sue anyone you want to, doesn't mean you'll win. In your brothers case, I think I'd drop the idea. Sounds like he's already in enough trouble and doesn't need to chance digging himself in deeper than he already is.
Everything including visitation is on a case by case basis. Just because one person has to wait 30 days does not mean someone else will not have to wait 120 days.
Bottom line.......If you can't do the time, don't commit the crime.

Well we have to remember prison is to strip someone to their rights to freedom. Visitation in a prison isn't established by any laws. I they want to file a civil complaint all power to them. But what are they trying to get out of it? money? visitation? By the time the case went to court he would probably have visitation.

adult men in detention center are consistently evaluating the sentences and medical care of the different adult men. they're consistently asserting, a guy who did the precise comparable crime and who had the precise comparable checklist as me have been given a lesser sentence. Why? And the respond is often the comparable: in no way, ever, ever analyze the sentence of one individual with that of yet another. there is often something distinctive from one defendant to a distinctive. the two the info in one case is distinctive than the different. Or the checklist of one is thoroughly distinctive than the different. additionally, in no way pay attention to jailhouse attorneys (inmates who think of they know the regulation). To a jailhouse legal expert, they consistently, consistently pass over something on each subject be counted they attempt to speak approximately. and that they many times supply some defendants suggestion that oftentimes provides years to the sentences of different defendants. (on the different hand, defendants might desire to question their public defenders besides, however the attorneys, maximum of them besides, know what's happening.) subsequently, i ponder whether your brother is even telling you the genuine tale.And what do you advise with the help of non-public visits? No visits from his kinfolk or some form of conjugal bypass to? All visits are privileges which could be lost. Conjugal visits extremely. additionally, whilst suing the government, the 1st element of do is to whinge to the detention center itself. there could be numerous issues you will possibly desire to do to previously you talk submitting a healthful. And there could be an somewhat valid reason your brother is being taken care of in a distinctive way. besides, consistently seek for suggestion from with an legal expert on your jurisdiction previously submitting healthful. in case you do document healthful, do no longer do it your self. you will no longer know what to do. Get an legal expert.
