Other ways are legal-oriented — getting a judge to release them, for example. But that means you have to convince the judge. So what happens when you can't do that?
For Danielle Jones of Los Angeles, the answer was trying to get the judge's release anyway. Her husband is in jail, and Jones wanted him out. The FBI arrested her after a judge noticed some forged legal documents and the forged signatures of some fellow judges on those documents.
It's no wonder Jones couldn't set her husband free. He's in for murder, attempted murder, and shooting at a home. He's serving two life sentences for all that, so it's not likely he'll ever get out.
Jones allegedly sent the forged documents, which sought the immediate release of her husband, to the Department of Corrections. The documents had judicial signatures and everything. The Department, however, wisely forwarded them to another judge, and in February of this year that judge became suspicious.
The judge in question was US District Court Judge Gary Feess, and he became suspicious because his own signature (well, not really) was on some of the documents. So an investigation was begun, and sure enough, the documents weren't real.
Jones tried a second time, allegedly, by sending another set of documents to the prison. The prison spokesman said they weren't particularly convincing.
Jones is currently free on a $50,000 bail. Maybe she can try the concealed file next time?
