Sacramento, CA asked in Criminal Law for California

Q: Boyfriend was sentenced at a correctional facility and was supposed to be released today. Why aren’t they releasing him?

He has a court date in 5 days. They already gave him his release paperwork and even told him to call to have us come get him , then said they weren’t letting him go. No other outstanding warrants or anything. Says he is still in the release list. Yet his release date online says none. Can they legally still hold him like that ??

IT'S LIKE CONTACTING A DOCTOR AND SAYING MY BOYFRIEND HAS A PAIN IN HIS STOMACH, WHAT IS IT AND WHY?

A LAWYER WOULD HAVE TO CALL TO CHECK ON THE STATUS.

INSTEAD OF SPENDING MONEY ON A LAWYER TO DO THAT, YOU CALL.
