There are no hard and fast rules on that subject that I am aware of.

Well in some places the "most violent' are housed in maximum security institutions.

And perhaps this should serve as an added deterrent to committing crimes and risking ones freedom.

Who do you talk to get a inmate out of prison?

# A lawyer - to prepare the appeal. # The sentencing judge - to ask him to reconsider his decision. # The Governor of state holding the inmate - to request a pardon or commutation of sentence. # The President of the United States - to request a pardon. # God - to ask for a miracle. Of these, the most effective course is to talk to God. The four options above Him usually amount to nothing.

If charged with one class b felony and two class d felonies what is the maximum you can get for first time offender?

depending on what the felonys are exactly. This is too broad of a question so this cant really be answered accuratly but if its 3 different felonys and a class b and d i would think that you will end up with a very long probation, possible jail time but nothing past 2 years(that being the worst), restitution if applied to, community service, and a decent amount of fines and costs. This is all if the judge is a nice one, but you can serve time if that judge is harsh especially if the crimes was violent and your in one of those states where the laws are strict like california. Good luck
