Midpoint Halfway House Fort Collins

[JusttheWife]

My husband is being sentenced to the halfway house. Can someone tell me about the rules, what he can take etc. Also communication etc. I also see that alot of people who are in the halfway house seem to get sentenced to Prison from there. Why is this done? Is there a determined amount of time that one is sentenced to halfway house. He is coming off a violation of probation and being sent to halfway house. His original sentence a few months ago was 4-12 years. Is this just the running of the bulls (by this I mean is probation just step one, half way house step two and prison step 3???) I would like to know everyone's experience and what to expect.
Thanks
