Q: What is a 455(b)pc1 mean
My boyfriend in jail he on ab109 and violated for no reporting when I called county jail they told me that 455(b)pc1
A: PC 455 is the criminal charge for Attempted Arson, a serious strike. This charge carries a requirement to register under the statute as an Arsonist. Based on your question that he is in jail based on a violation, he likeky failed to conact probation upon his release or if the meeting took place, probation would have instructed him to register under PC 455, and he failed to do so.
A:

i do not know if you are saying he was booked on one charge and then the jail has him listed on another? that is common and it may be several charges.........however 455 is a VERY serious charge. OR that he failed to report and is listed on a 455
