I was sentenced yesterday (Thursday) on tax evasion/mail fraud for 30 months. My attorneys are filing my appeal today. The whole case is a railroad job since I had inside info on corrupt state politicians. I am a 30 yr old single mother of a 10 yr old. I'm engaged and my fiance lives with us. My ex is in the DEA. The prosecutor told the judge that I am an extreme flight risk. ? Even though I have been unemployed since May and have had to sell everything I own to pay rent. They told me to report Tues of next week. I have no time to make arrangements for my son. My ex refuses to allow my son to stay with my fiance even though we have lived together for almost 3 years. I don't have parents so he wants my son to go live with his, 4 hours away, even though he's just an adoptive father. I learned through an atty other than mine of the boot camp program and am all for it so I can get back home to my son. I forwarded the info to my attorneys but have yet to hear from them. How do I get into one of these programs? I have little time. Is there a way to postpone reporting while arranging the facility? These people want me behind bars immediately to shut me up. I've already been told by 3 attorneys that I will most likely win my appeal. But I'm afraid of losing my son while my appeal is processed. He doesn't know anything going on, I'm telling him tonight. He will be destroyed. Please help me in finding out how to get into one of these boot camps.

Ampoole,

I hope you see this before this afternoon.

I wish I had paid more attention to the forums this weekend. But, I frankly do not know anything that can help you, I hope others have answered you elsewhere in PTO that can.

I hope - and pray - that you have found the answers you need to help delay your incarceration and to win your appeals.

Telling your son, been there, done that, with my daughter, not easy, I do know.

All I can say at this late date, is keep your head up, and stay strong.

Sounds trite, I know, but someone who had been in prison a lot longer than I, said that to me, over and over. She was my cellie.

If you want, and can get your address to someone to post on PTO, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be glad to write while you are there.

Hang in there,

God Bless
