Help to understand inmate information details on website?

Currently incarcerated - I got that...It lists his current facility. And also "Current custody: close" What does that mean? Ralease Date: 11/28/2012 (Release Date subject to change pending gain time award, gain time forfeiture, or review. A 'TO BE SET' Release Date is to be established pending review.)
*In about a month or two the release date has shortened. It was in Dec...How often and how much do they change it? He has a prison sentence length of 6yrs. and also lists the same case with community supervision length as 4yrs. Im guessing for the first 4yrs they watch him more?

Answers:
The "custody: close" has to do with his status within the prison. If her has "minimum" custody status in some instances he could be housed in a work farm or some minimum custody facility, depending on what is available in the state you are in. Usually there are at least 3 custody statue classifications, the third would probably be "max".

The release date is subject to the variables like parole law, good time credit, or if he is in federal prison it could be release to "supervised release". these things all vary according to state law.

He could have community supervision after he completes his sentence, meaning that for 4 years after he is released from prison he would be on community supervision, also called "probation", and if he violates he could be sent back to the court for imposition of further sentence. Again, this will vary from state to state.

You can probably find more information on the state's prison web site, probably every state has a web site with a FAQ page.


why do you care? he's a criminal.
some inmate will go to grate langts to get out when thay now thay are wrong
yes...he is no longer in custody as an inmate...my guess is he is in a half way house or something like that. he is being monitored for 4 years.
every day that he stays out of trouble --his time will change due to being awarded 'good behavior points'

good luck :)
