Lol, I know this isn't the place for this question, but how much jail time for forgery?
Yesterday was my sister's birthday so I wanted to wish her a happy birthday over messenger, but she wasn't on all day. This is usually a bad sign so this morning I ran an inmate search for all the local jails.

Boom. Drug possession charges with a bail of $2,000, a second controlled substance charge with $5,000 bail and a forgery charge with a bail of $50,000!! She's had drug charges before and she usually is given a slap on the wrist and a prescription for suboxone. She's a lovely young woman so they always go easy on her.

I don't know what she did as far as the forgery goes. I understand context matters and it can go from being a misdemeanor to a felony with years of prison time. The $50,000 bail amount suggests the latter uhoh

Well I guess I'll give her some commissary as a birthday gift 1dunno1

Funny thing is they use Popo sworn affidavits as probable cause.

I could tell you what to do, but they would come for us both.

ohyeah

I got to learn the whole "you can't help an addict until they're ready to help themselves" thing real early.

Also, you can't help them without them bringing you down too... they got to have the come to jesus moment on their own.

It all depends on how much you spend for a lawyer...a public defender will likely get her the electric chair...

I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked.

They can not defeat someone who has nothing but time, take down all names and badge #'s, hire a PI and use your imagination.

Or you can let her grow old in the interior.

Re: Lol, I know this isn't the place for this question, but how much jail time for forgery?
probably got caught forging prescriptions, ie. stole a script pad and forged the doc's signature?


Or forged checks, who knows. If she's a drug addict, those would be the most likely. Sounds like they are done with her shit, so she might have to do time this go round.


Might do her some good. Sorry OP

Forgery, in Illinois, is a Class 3 Felony and carries 3-5 years in the Department of Corrections. It is a probational offense.

Well I got to know more details. If it's a clear cut case and they have her dead to rights I'm not spending the time.

I read online 3 years. With good behavior that's cut down to 1.5 years. It's sad, but this is what she asked for. They system gave her so many breaks. Most men would have a felony and a ruined life on their second drug charge (first time can be expunged if you do UA's and take drug prevention courses), my sister on the other hand must have a dozen controlled substance charges and yet not one felony. She was determined to push her luck.

Sadly enough, you are right. But she just might hate jail bad enough to want to get her shit together and get out.

Probably not though.
