Do the days he spends before bing transferred to Sumter count towards the 59????? I sure hope so. Hell isn't it just a couple of hours drive? What's taking them so long to do that?
From what I've been able to find out from his attorney, as well as other law enforcement officers (ones I know and can trust), the time spent in Alachua will count towards the time needing to be served.
Sumter apparently only has 10 days to move him, and since he is only there to serve time, and does not get an arraignment or bail/bond, he is not high on the priority list. Which means he will most likely sit there for a week to nine days before they transfer him.
Anything sent to him aside from letters will be entered into his property, but he will not be able to access it until he actually leaves the jail. I can't even bring him snacks and such, since they don't feed him enough there (apparently the meals are incredibly small, and everyone is still hungry between mealtimes, not just John). But I know he'll appreciate any letters that he gets.
Meanwhile, after visiting him last night....he's beyond miserable. I don't think I can find the words to describe it. He only gets 2 hours of visitation time per week, and that is gone for this week now. His visit(s) to the library are limited to one per week, for no more than 1 hour at a time. That has also been expended for this week. For someone as intelligent as he is, just sitting around and doing nothing is killing him.
