I’m very aware that when you go to jail, the point is to straighten you out and make you never wanna come back. Though I do know for some people that’s not the case. (Not the point anyway)

My boyfriend has been in the suicide pod for a while now. Mentally his sentencing has been very challenging on him. Just to make things a little worse, him and all the other people in the pod have not gotten to take a shower in five days. It’s already so hot in there and he’s having to wear what I believe is called a smock. They one they gave him was previously worn without wash. They are also not switching anyone’s out and offering a clean one. Anyway, I’m sure jail is hard altogether, but I feel like it would be some relief for him to get a shower once a day or at least every couple days. Has anyone had a similar experience?

My boyfriend recently became incarcerated. I’m also due in six weeks to have our baby girl and I’m worried that he won’t get to be there.

Here’s what I know: back in August 2024 he violated an order of protection against someone else. He’s been picked up on the same charge a few times though I don’t believe he violated it every time. I don’t know that he finished out his sentence. It’s been brought to my attention that if his probation was violated, he could have potentially been picked him up on that same violation of order of protection charge, but I don’t know if that’s true. Through the years on different charges, he’s gotten off pretty lucky. I recall him telling me that he’s had an ankle monitor before. Let out in probation. As well as he’s been given an 1129 on the violation charge but 60 days suspended therefore he only had to spend two months. I believe the last time he went to jail at the beginning of last year he served some time on violation of probation. They offered to give him a month in a rehabilitation program and if he completed it, it would take care of his sentencing rather than spending the 1129.
He decided to leave the program early, which put a warrant out for escape. Also, after leaving, he got a workhouse capias (type of warrant) stating he would have to spend 1129 for the violation of the order of protection. Keep in mind I wasn’t with him at this time so guiding him in the right direction was not an option. I’m very aware that he was given multiple chances and he screwed that up for himself. When I rekindled with him right before we started dating, he let me know that he had warrants and I still chose to be with him through it. I ended up pregnant very early on in the relationship unintentionally. I was told it was very unlikely I could ever have kids so regardless of the circumstances it feels like a miracle. I was even able to have a baby and carry it almost to full term. The first time I ever became pregnant. With that being said, though it has caused a lot of stress on me, knowing that he may not be able to make it to the birth of our child.

More potentially valuable information: he was picked up on both warrants from my house. He was given a bond on the felony escape charge. He was not given a bond on the violation of protection order because it already was stated after the last time he got out of jail that he would have to spend 1129. I was told through the courthouse on his upcoming arraignment Monday. Only the escape charge would be addressed. Everyone that attempts to give me information about him, including attorneys, the courthouse, and the jail are not initially seeing his 1129. They’re only seeing the escape charge. Which has led me more than once to believe I could get him out on bond. I’ve even been told I could until they called back apologizing for the mistake on their end.

Location: Tennessee

I’m hoping someone could tell me what they think could happen on his arraignment. If there’s any options to lessen his 1129 sentence. What to Expect out of the escape charge. Also, if it’s possible, if the escape charge gets plugged down or dropped, if the state of Tennessee allows him to get furlough for the birth of the baby.

Thank you in advance!
