How could my son be sent home on GPS monitoring after the Judge put a no bond on him?

How could my son be sent home on GPS monitoring after the Judge put a no bond on him ( because Pa has a Warrant out on him for a parole violation)? You see, he just recently was arrested in Florida where he now lives for commiting the same crime (Arson) When he 1st got arrested he had a $30.000 bond until Pa placed the Warrant..Then out of the blue this past Saturday a Lieutenant calls me and said Travis could come home on GPS monitoring? And he doesn't have to have bail money...I am confused..Please help me understand.. He is at the John Polk jail in Sanford fl

If a lieutenant offered to send your inmate home with a GPS monitoring device, then take it.

If a lieutenant offered to send your inmate home with a GPS monitoring device, then take it. We have no idea how the other warrants would affect this offer. If all the information that you've stated in your is correct, we cannot see how they would allow him to leave when there is a no bond hold and outstanding warrants. We know that typically, when there are outstanding charges from another jurisdiction, they place a "detainer" on the inmate and do not let them leave, no bond, no movement.
