I would just request that the person you are corresponding with to SPELL it out. I think that would be the wisest thing to do and reasonable.
Even if you could guess at some of the Abbreviation they may not be right.
Ex: SA= sexual assault? Substance Abuse?
AD= Assault Deadly weapon?
The others don't match with the usual offenses like burgalary, Battery, Murder 1,2,3, Rape, forcible sodomy etc etc etc
Who knows and why guess?

Excellent link, Torrey! There are a number of them listed I have not even heard..

If your State has a Dept of Corrections Web Site, they usually show the Abbreviations with a description of what they mean beside it.

Such as, AWDWWITK - Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Man Manslaughter etc.

I happened to be talking to hubby while I was looking at the link, he knew some, but not most of the ones I asked him. He said another phrase for "jody" is "sport coat". Maybe now I'll understand some of the conversations we have. LOL
