Hello there! Hope someone knows the truth, I have heard so many different things. My boyfriend recently plead guilty to 2 Assault charges/2 criminal threat charges. When he requested paperwork so he could have on him when he arrived at prison reception it also included even the charges that were dropped in the plea bargin process. Why do they leave that on the paperwork and will that info be sent to the prison ahead of him OR will the prison only consider the charges he was found guilty on.

All legal documents sent to an inmate in California are considered confidential they can inspect them for contrband but are not suppose to read them. So that's they way it's suppose to be. As for will the prison consider the other charges....??

His term in prison and subsequent charges that got him there are all determined by the sentencing judge and the prions only follow what the Judge sentenced him to.

Why they leave those charges on there, It is a summary of all negotiations of the DA and Defense Attorney at time of trial. So like a math problem they have to show how they added and divided to reach the final answer.

Hope that helps

The document I believe you are refering to is called the ABSTRACT OF JUDGEMENT. It is a legal document; however, it is not confidential; it is a public record.

This document is part of the legal information received by corrections case records specialists who calculate the time the prisoner is required to serve based upon the instructions of the court.

The information regarding the other cases that were plead are of no consequence to the CDC. The specialist is only concerned with the instructions from the court regarding the sentence, and any credits the court have have granted at the time of sentencing.
