This is an update. This case is fast becoming incomprehensible. It has now been over 30 days, since my son has been held in Hudson County Jail. This past week, I was able to find some paper work from his case in NY. With that, I went to the NYC court house and inquired about the warrant for my son. The people there were actually very nice and helpful, to my surprise actually. In any event, NY claims there is no open warrant for my son, in NY. As far as they are concern, his community service case has been closed. There is nothing open on him.
They asked me to find the doc # of his arrest in NJ and then bring it back to them, (NYC). Because perhaps it maybe something else that they cannot find. Highly unlikely I may add.
I spoke to my son's case worker to ask for that doc#. She claims she could not give me that info. She was pretty terse with me I may add. This is his fourth case worker in one month to boot. I had explained to her, that NY claims there is nothing open regarding my son. She then stated I had to go back to NYC and asked for some sort of form letter from them and fax it over to their records department. Then and only then will he be release.
I go back to NYC; they claim they don't have such a thing. They say it isn't their problem. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the same people as I did, the day before.
This sounds like a catch 22. I can't get my son released, because there is no bail. NJ still maintains, they are holding him until NY comes and gets him and NY is telling me they don't want him, because there is nothing open on him.
This whole mess is making my head spin.
