Time Off for Good Behavior in Custody?
If you have been convicted of a crime, and have spent weeks or months awaiting sentencing, you are not alone. The average time a person spends waiting for sentencing in Wyoming is 57 days, and is often far longer, usually months. It has been proposed that the law be rewritten so that a prisoner can apply the days spent waiting for sentencing or a transfer to prison be taken off his or her sentence as “time served.”
Summer Drinking and Driving Don’t Mix
Summer is finally here, and now we can enjoy all the benefits the sunny and warm season has to offer. The kids are out of school, and people are taking trips to the lake, having pool parties, barbecues, picnics, and more!

There are federal laws, and then there are the state laws. These laws are created by state legislatures and can vary from state to state, but most laws are logical. While a statute on robbery in California may differ slightly from the statute in Wyoming, both still make sense.

Or both.

Which States Have the Most DUIs?
Wyoming is famous for many things, not least of which are its wide-open roads and breathtaking landscape. From Fort Laramie in the east to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone in the west, Wyoming offers visitors and residents alike an amazing experience.
But what many people don’t know is that Wyoming is also infamous for another reason: it is the most dangerous state in America in terms of DUIs.
Titus Recommends Client for Boot Camp, Challenges Wyoming System
Wyoming has a progressive program in place for first-time offenders. The state’s Youthful Offender Program, commonly referred to as Boot Camp, is a six-month program that emphasizes rehabilitation rather than punishment.
