Has your boyfriend's attorney discussed this option with him already?
No but he just now met with him
It's good that they've met. Your boyfriend should discuss the possibility of rehab with his attorney as soon as possible. The attorney can then file a motion to request rehab instead of prison. This motion should highlight his willingness to undergo treatment and how it would benefit his rehabilitation.
Has he been given a date for his revocation hearing yet?
October 8th
****, it's important for your boyfriend to discuss the possibility of rehab with his attorney immediately, given the upcoming hearing date. His attorney can file the necessary motion before the hearing.

Dear Judge [Judge’s Last Name],
My name is [Your Name], and I am writing to you on behalf of my boyfriend, [Boyfriend’s Full Name], who is currently incarcerated for a federal probation violation. I respectfully request that you consider sentencing him to a rehabilitation program instead of prison.
[Boyfriend’s Full Name] has acknowledged his mistakes and is deeply committed to turning his life around. He has expressed a strong desire to undergo treatment to address the underlying issues that contributed to his actions. We believe that a rehabilitation program would provide him with the necessary tools and support to make meaningful changes.
He has a strong support system, including myself and our family, who are dedicated to helping him through this process. Additionally, we have identified several highly regarded rehab programs that he is willing to attend, such as
If he is sentenced to rehab could he get out a few days before going to rehab or will he stay in custody till then
****, whether your boyfriend can be released a few days before starting rehab depends on the judge's sentencing order and the specific terms set by the court. Here are some general considerations:
- **Court's Discretion:** The judge decides whether your boyfriend can be released before going to rehab.
- **Probation Officer's Input:** The probation officer’s recommendations may influence this decision.
- **Compliance:** Your boyfriend’s compliance with court orders and previous conduct can impact the decision.
Has his attorney discussed any potential terms of release with the probation officer or the court?
No but my boyfriend passed all UAs asked for and held down a steady employment since his release from prison
****, it's good to hear that your boyfriend has been compliant and held steady employment. Here are some additional points to consider:
- **Highlight Compliance:** Mention his compliance with UA tests and employment in the letter to the judge.
- **Attorney's Role:** His attorney should discuss these positive aspects with the probation officer and the court.
