Answer 1

Call the jail where he is being held and ask if he has visitation privilages and what the visiting hours are.

He'll probably be locked up until his court hearing. At the hearing, they'll either let him go if they don't think there is a case, or they will set a bail amount and return him to jail until he posts bail.

Answer 2

yes can probably write him, but you can't visit him unless you have and adult, but he has to put you in his visitors list. it's harder for a minor, i tried to isit my brother, but i had to wait until i was over 18 , i dont know how long he will get, depending how many previous crimes he has on his record

Answer 3

Most jail facilities prohibit "minors" from visitation.

Your friend will remain in custody until seen by the court.

You should be able to send mail to your friend, however, in-coming and out-going mail is checked so make sure you don't say anything you feel would compromise yourself or your friend.

Answer 4

call the county jail where hes at and they will be able to give you the answers
