    They'll just transfer someone, most likely.

    They will release other inmates earlier to make room for your hubby to serve his time. That is common. A jail sentence means a jail sentence.

    Jails have plastic portable beds called "boats." He'll just be placed somewhere in the cell block in one of these.
