Fort Washington, MD asked in Criminal Law and Federal Crimes for Maryland

Q: where can I get a copy of Article 27 Secdtion 640 and footnotes for Restitution

My son is in Federal prison and is almost out for his sentence but can't return to MD as a release because of a warrant for VOP for restitution over 20 years ago he didn't pay. He has been in prison 7 years and did not have access to money to pay this restitution and wants to be released to MD to go to work and pay the restitution in full.
