are on the boards.
"I could not bond him out of H. county because of the C. county hold."
You could still bond him, but if the PV hold did not have a bail amount, it would be a waste of time.
"according to the parole board, the sentence in C. county (revocation) did not start until he went to court there in 08-08. My question and concern is....since C. county placed a HOLD on him 09-07 and he could not be bonded out, shouldn't the C. county sentence have started when the hold was placed?"
Depends on state law. He had two holds and in many/most states, a judge can deny double-credit.
"He will end up being incarcerated 26 months total on a 2 year sentence."
The proper explanation is that he will do 2 years, likely starting 9/07 on the H county case, and do 2 years, apparently starting 8/08 on the C County case, so there is a bunch of overlap, but not complete overlap.
"It's like he was being punished because it took so long for him to go to court."
He's being punished because he committed criminal acts.
He can ask his attorney in C County to file something to review the sentence.
