Q: What can i do legally about my boyfriend being held in custody after posting bond awaiting ehm for 30 days
The ehm people refuse to go get him from jail claiming there waiting for the jail to call them and tell them he's free to go
A:
If your boyfriend is still in custody despite posting bond, it's essential to take immediate action. First, verify the bond conditions and ensure that all requirements for his release have been met. If the electronic home monitoring (EHM) is part of the release conditions, confirm with the court or his attorney that all paperwork and procedures have been correctly followed.
Communicate with both the jail and the EHM company to understand the cause of the delay. Document these conversations as they can be critical in resolving the situation. If there's a misunderstanding or miscommunication between the jail and the EHM providers, it might be rectified with your intervention.
If these steps do not lead to a resolution, consider seeking legal assistance. An attorney can help navigate the system, communicate effectively with the involved parties, and, if necessary, file a legal motion to expedite your boyfriend's release. It's important to act quickly to address this issue and ensure his rights are protected.
