Sorry about your luck, but criminals are in prison for a reason. You don't go to prison just to walk in and out for whatever you want. You shouldn't have made the choice that you did.
Sorry if it sounds too blunt, but it's the honest truth and there is no other way to put it. Use it as a life changing lesson and hope for the best. |

You make me think that a lot of criminals are really not that smart are they? I suppose you didn't think about your family, and good things in your life while you were breaking the law? When you go to prison, they do not let you out for anything until you have completed your time. If your wife dies while you are in prison, you stay there. If something happens to your kids, you stay there. You're stuck, wake the hell up. |

no, they will let you out on day release(under prison guard escort) if it's an immediate family members funeral. Good luck Cathy xxx |

No. If that was the case then everyone would say my Mom is dieing to stay out for a couple of days the fly to Mexico. |

Hope not. Prison is a punishment not a holiday camp.
Prisoners are in prison because they think they are above the law. Hence they cant be trusted. |

No, they don't occasionally you may be allowed out for funerals and they usually send you out with security staff... |

Death of an immediate family member might qualify for permission to go to the funeral. If so it would be under armed guard, and you would have to pay the expenses incurred. If you are new in the system, the chances are low that they will allow it. |

Unless you do some extraordinary favors for the State (like snitching on a gangster or a suspected serial killer), you are not leaving until you qualify for parole. |

Er no. Do you think the world is all soft and fluffy? They wont let you out, just escort you to the hospital. |

I think it depends no the seriousness of your crimes and whether or not if your a minor or and adult. If you going to a high maximum security prison trialed as an adult, unfortunately no you will most likely not be able to leave your sentence for a few days. Going to jail is no picnic because you miss out on so many life situations such as being there for you loved ones when they need you. I hope that your dad gets better though and that you will see him again when your sentence is done. Best of luck |

Yes in certain cases they do my dad is in prison and you can apply for day release they sometimes give you 2-3 days release and in regards to you prison sentance dont worry about it just make sure when you come out you learn from you mistakes as my dad has still not.
Elude i think your comment was rather unfair you must be a saint you cant have a go at this man for making mistakes everyone does some people just get caught thats the way life works.

It depends on what the crime was and how much time you get. If you’re doing hard time then no, if you’re doing a short stretch in a county lock up then maybe.
Hate to say you’re in jail as punishment, but you’re going to jail as punishment, part of that is not being there when someone needs you. If dad dies you might not get to go to the funeral, or be by his side in the hospital. But YOU put that on the line when you did the crime, man up and learn your lesson. Hopefully dad will still be around when you get out, if not then you only have yourself to blame. |

They will deal with each case individually,but as he is immediate family they will consider your request but things will have to be quite bad with your dad for you to get out for the day.Try not to worry you might not get a custodial sentence,see what your solicitor says.good luck and sorry about your dad
p.s i notice some people giving cruel answers to your questions-ignore them ,they arn't being helpful
A family member had similar problems to yours ,you need to sort your anger issues out-hopefully your probation officer can help you get onto an anger management course-even if you think its unlikely to help persevere with it and if you try you can conquer these problems if you really want to.You are still young and you can turn your life around-things can be different for you its worth trying hard to change things |

His lawyer has to file a motion to get him a furlow in court. Specific orders state when to be picked up, by who, and the time to return.
But wait... a prison holds inmates for the long term. A jail is for shorter term "stays." You can get out of jail, you rot in prison. Prisons hold life, death rows, etc... Are you sure that is where he is at? |

It depends on what you're going to prison for, what kind of a prison you're going to (minimum, medium, maximum) and that prison's specific rules and regulations. I know a man who is in a medium security prison for murder and he was NOT allowed to go to his own father's funeral.
When you get out of jail or prison, you can start over again with a new life. Forgive yourself for what you have done and move forward. That is the best thing you can do for yourself and your dad and everyone else who cares about you. Reclaim your life when you get out and make good choices. Don't give up! |

I don't know enough to answer your question, but I did talk to this man once who dealt a lot with people in prison for a living. He said that often prisoners would beg to go to their child's wedding. His response was that there's a reason why they're in prison. If they were just going to let them out to go to the wedding, why would they have put them in prison in the first place? He said that he would tell the prisoners that they should have thought about that before committing the crime. |

I think you might be able to leave temporarily under escort, but I don't think they'll just let you go. |

Yes, I think they do! |
