He stop reporting after 5yrs and he didn't get into any trouble other than he got a dirty U/A and the Judge sent him back and know he has been gone for 13mo and they have it in the computer that he won't get out for another 2yrs do that seem fair when he hasn't committed any more crimes and has been a working family man being productive in society? Is there anything we can do to get him out sooner? He is on the highest level and does not get into any trouble and has a family at home that he could be taking care of not the state Can anyone who know anything about the law in Oklahoma please help? He did do 5yrs on the streets without getting into any more trouble again I say he did not catch a new case so why is it they trying to make him do the whole 10yr? And if at all possible is there anything we can do to change this or what. As I recall the governor did not take any good time from him. Anyone who knows a good laywer, please help please refer him to us. we need justice please!!

I assume U/A is a drug test? Seen someone think the same as myself.
OK, say he get 10 years. By law, this is his penalty for whatever he did, 10 years! On the Street he is referred to as being on paper for 10 years. When he first went to prison, most States not make a person do all the time. This what parole is all about.I not sure of the math, but, say it a 1 for deal. Every 1 month he in, they may take 2 months off his time served. So, for an example they have good time; His first time in, he may stay 18 months and be eligible for parole. He goes before he parole board and they see he been good and then he get out on "Parole". 10 years - 18 months he still owe society 8 years and 6 months and this he do on Parole. Think of parole as "House Arrest" (Only he not detained only to the home). It save the taxpayer money and at the same time, allow him to return to society and get his life back in order. But, he still on paper and belong to the State until he "Off Paper". During the next 8.5 years he report to a parole officer. Maybe once a month and then every six months and eventually he may not have to ever see the parole officer. But, he is on parole for the next 8.5 years and during that time, the parole officer can check up on him, Drug Test, Knock on the door, whatever. I not think he even supposed to be in a Bar/Night Club!!! If, during this time, he do something wrong, I think the parole officer has the discretion and can give him a "Slip and Slide or Go Directly Back to Jail Card".
One other thing. Say he been out for 2.5 years and have only 6 more years of parole? I not sure, but, they may be able to forget the time out and he go back to still having to serve the total of 8.5 years, if, he only serve 1.5 before parole. So, in other words, the time out on parole was vacation time and now it back to work for 8.5 years "OR" until he come up for parole again.
Now; they have a word for this, and maybe someone know. "Receiverdism" something like that. Means he when back in.
The next time he come up for parole, they may be a little more reserved and let him stay a little longer. This called a "Denial" (They deny his parole). Plus, they could deny him a few times to let him think about if he want to do without drugs at home, or, do without drugs in prison.
I sorry, but, this how life works and he have an obligation to society for 10 years. How he do this, is up to him. Society gives a fair shake, as, it could be just a flat rate of 10 years without parole and the taxpayer pick up the tab.

He did commit a crime, or he wouldn't have been reporting. He was given the opportunity to remain our of prison, all he had to do was comply with the conditions. He failed, so he should have to do the time he was sentenced to do.
So he didn't catch a new case, if he gave a dirty ua, he was committing a crime by using illegal drugs. He just didn't get a new case. And what about the offense of "Contempt of Court" they could likely have charged him with that.
The prison system will classify him based on the factors related to his offense, his violation, and his behavior in the prison. There is nothing you can do about that, only he can control his behavior.
He will likely be eligible for parole.
Just remember, if he had not gotten probation he likely would not have started a family until after he completed his sentence. He failed the probation, now his family will have to wait for him to finish his sentence.

I have to say it everyone is correct. If his family and freedom was of the most importance then he wouldn't have risked the chance of violating his probation. I wouldn't be surprised however if you were able to get an attorney to argue him into a low security prison, depending on what crime he committed in the first place. In all honesty getting your way is not justice. Justice occurs when the rules are followed by everyone including the justice system and those convicted. Fact is drugs are illegal. It's unfortunate that he risked his family and freedom to get high. Sweetheart if he does get out make sure he doesn't violate any more laws including his probation.

since you didn't mention the crime he committed in the first place i am going to assume that this has to do with the new Adam Walsh act because that is the only thing i know of that is sending people to prison for ten years without them having committed a "new" crime
if i am correct the answer on what can be done is up in the air, some people are serving the full ten years and some people have got there cases dismissed as unconstitutional
if this is not about the Adam Walsh act you might want to explain your question better with more detail

Continue to raise awareness because currently not a whole lot of people know about this very serious issue. Our feminized society has been conditioned to believe that only women can be victim and only men abused. With enough awareness and opposition, hopefully, funding and research will be distribute far more evenly (instead of only focus on female victims) and feminism will lose control of the Domestic Violence industry.

ok--he may not have commited a new crime, but when you fail the drug test---they put you back in jail to complete the sentence. if you don't follow the rules, you go back to jail. i understand what you're saying, of course it's makes more sense to let him out so he can be productive and take care of his family, but most courts just don't care.

I'm afraid you got justice. He got a break the first time; he didn't keep up with something as simple as reporting and staying off drugs.

OK, he already got his chance when they placed him on probation. They told him, and he agreed, that if he blew probation, they could just revoke it and send him to prison under the old sentence.
So he messed up, didn't keep his word, but the system kept its word. They revoked him and sent him to prison.
A lot of people would say you already got justice.
