Q: My boyfriend was sentenced to 1 year 4months on a felony violation of probation charge in Virginia back in October.
He was arrested July and was in jail until a week ago, he was then taken to prison to get his DOC number and finish his time. I've contacted Doc but never been given a release date. Could you give me an estimate on a release date? Also the jusde did grant him the 41 days he had pulled before court to be added as time served.
A: Generally speaking, you take the time given and subtract the amount of time he has already done (41 days); he will serve 85% of the remainder.
