Holly's story

I'm not sure how to write about what happned at the corte, because i don't understand it myself. I have asked the judge and the lawyer who have both explained it to me in english, and still it is not clear.
It seems there are 2 forces at work here: one is the correctional legislation, which determines how long someone remains in jail. which we were supposed to attend yesterday. The other is the the rehabilition process. these twon establishments do not seem to communicate much.
Anyway we arrived at the Corte yesterday as planned, and went to look around where we should be. we ended up in this tiny room where 13 women were working (Maarten counted them), and they explained to us... it wasn´t going to happen here in Alajuela, but in San Jose. They went to get a nice gentleman to explain it to us. he spoke english, and it turns out he is the judge. He explained the rehabilitation has chosen to send Brad to a halfway house which is in San Jose, so my father doesn´t fall under his juridiction anymore, he will send the whole file to San Jose next week and they will contact my father for a new hearing. End of story. End of story?
we spent the wqhole day with Brad at the hotel, he is out all day everyday 5 days a week, and sleeps at the halfway house 2 days.
It was amazing sitting in our kitchen here, with the music and the people, Brad was fascinated by the digital cameras (where do you put the film?) by the laptops, everything. He is sitting with me now as i write this.
Just wanted to tell everyone what is going on, Qui sait?
