[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 521036, member: 13542"] Well, I have no real practical knowledge to help with, however, on occasion I have watched a show on TV called Lockup which is about prison life and it covers many facets of it including when offenders are released and what is expected of them. Here is my thought, perhaps since he is getting out so much earlier, his early release may be contingent upon his getting housing for himself. He may need someone on the outside to help arrange that. It seemed in the particular prison I saw on TV, the prison authorities worked with the family to help the inmate find suitable housing. It was not the parents home or a relatives home, it was a shelter, halfway house, church operated housing, etc. It may even be something in another state, when I saw the show it 'seemed' as if the authorities were trying to make sure the inmate was going into a positive environment where there basic needs would be met. it didn't sound like there was an expectation on the family to provide that, although some might. Let us know what the expectation is, I am curious as others are. One thing is for sure, your boundaries are strict and in place. That is a very good thing. Now you just need to get the facts.
