He won't be sentenced to Jail till mid next month. And I would like to see him before he leaves.
Is this possible?

If he was given 16 months, then he must have already been sentenced. Perhaps you mean can he leave the state before he begins serving his time . . .
It depends -- IMHO -- on whether they told him he could leave or not. If they didn't specifically tell him Not To Leave The State, then it should be ok.
If he has any paperwork he should read it carefully or better yet call the courthouse and ask them.
And whatever they say, ask if they could also put it in writing and mail it to you, please. Or maybe he could just go down and pick it up himself if he lives near the courthouse -- good luck!

The person can run away before he/she is sentenced. However, if the person will return before being caught for having left the state, they will only spend 16 months in jail. You know the law on this, try to convince the person NOT to extend their time by being caught leaving the state. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace and God Bless.

Well that's called crossing state lines to avoid sentencing Add 5- 10 to his sentence

Usually not, but in some cases it may be up to the judge. To allow a convicted felon (the definition of someone sentenced to a term of more than one year) to leave the state would be considered a flight risk.
It would be best for you to go to him.

As long as he is not under a judicial order not to leave the state, he may do so, if he wishes.
