A: If your husband has completed all of the requirements and obligations related to his conviction and sentence, it is possible that there may be a mistake or error in the system that led to the warrant hold. It's important to gather all of the relevant information, such as the specific details of the conviction, the terms of the sentence, and any documentation or proof of completion of requirements.

You may want to reach out to a criminal defense attorney or public defender to assist you in navigating the legal system and advocating for your husband's rights. They can review the details of the case and help you understand the options available for resolving the warrant hold.

In addition, you can contact the jail where your husband is being held and inquire about the specific reasons for the warrant hold and what steps can be taken to address the situation. It's important to act quickly and gather as much information as possible to ensure that your husband's rights are protected and the situation is resolved as quickly as possible.
