If you were to visit any of our department of corrections facilities, I do not think you would want to do any time at all. I have been to these places and they are not at all the places I would want to be. The food is lousy, the bathrooms are shared by too many, the cleanliness is atrocious, and every aspect of your life is controlled by corrections officers, and they are not usually kind people. They can write you up for with a disciplinary report, and you automatically go to jail within jail for 30 or more days. If you violate your probation you could be sentenced to the original amount of time in DOC that you were facing when you entered the plea or were found guilty. Probation is a gift, do not throw the gift of liberty and freedom into the trash. When you get through half of the probationary period without incident and pay all of the fines and costs, you can get probation terminated early.

You need to set up a conference with a local attorney about this problem. This could be viewed as an unfair and deceptive trade practice, which is actionable. In other words, you may be able to sue them, but will need to hire an attorney to do so.

These facts are not complete and I am positive that there is much more to the story. Your fiance needs to get a competent lawyer. If the public defender has been appointed, that is what he gets, unless he hires private counsel.
