Jacob P. Sartz IV., Attorney at Law | Jacob Sartz
Generally speaking, the court reviews the file at those reviews and determines the next step in a juvenile's rehabilitative program. What will happen to your son, in particular, depends on his circumstances, the type of charge, the court, his progress, his age, etc. If your son has a lawyer, you should ask his lawyer that question.

Burdon and Merlitti | Adam Van Ho
Each court has a different term, but as a general rule, a judge may review a sentence before its expiration to determine if the offender has learned his lesson. At that point, if the individual has done well in jail (i.e. no write-ups), then the judge may release him early. If he has not been behaving, then he may have to serve out his entire sentence.

I would need further information but in general the judge will review it and see if there needs to be any changes- positive or negative to the sentence.

Usually, if the court is scheduling the review it means that your son will be getting out soon. If he has followed the rules in the jail and does not have write ups, he will likely get out on his review date.

I assume that you are asking about a juvenile case. In a juvenile case the minor is sent before the court at the end of his sentence to evaluate the progress toward rehabilitation. In this hearing the probation officer has most of the input. If the minor has completed all the assigned programs and seems to be rehabilitated then he is put on probation and released. The restrictions on the probation are conveyed to the judge by the probation officer. There is a possibility that the minor may be ordered to complete any programs that were not completed in juvenile hall.

Harden Law Offices | Leonard D. Harden
I have never heard of a jail review? Sentence review is for prison sentences of over 1 year, and they consist of a 3 judge panel that can increase decrease or leave alone court imposed sentence. If your son has a lawyer talk to that person as they will know facts of case.

Once you are in jail you will get one third off for good behavior. In New York State you go to jail for a sentence less than a year and a prison for a sentence of more than a year. Time can be added if you commit crimes in jail. You can get sanctioned for violating the rules of the facility. If you violate the conditions of the sentence you can get more jail time. You will have to ask your attorney about this particular matter as I have no facts or circumstances about this case.

I don't know what a 'jail sentence review' is, but a sentence reduction can be granted anytime before one year has passed since the sentence was imposed. Also, a person can ask a court to correct an illegal sentence.

H. Scott Basham, Attorney at Law, P.C. | H. Scott Basham
It is impossible to say with this little information. Have you talked to the prosecutor to see what he plans to recommend? If he has done 37 days of a 44 day sentence, he will be out in a week no matter what.

Have never heard of such an event as you describe. Have had occasions where a client was sent to prison with the understanding that the court would re-sentence if the client was not in trouble for rule violations while in prison. But those instances were for more than 44 days. Ask your son's attorney.

As your attorney would have explained, the sentence review is to determine whether he should be released early, or perhaps given more time in jail

There is no such thing as a "jail sentence review" once you are sentenced the case is over and the trial judge does not "review" the case further. You are confused, and you should consult with your son's lawyer.

This is the court just making sure he is carrying out his sentence as ordered by the judge. If he is not he could get more jail, fined, or just yelled at.
