early release for non-violent Prisoners

My cousin Jordan Morgan was sentenced 5-1 for unlawful possession of firearm. He had a licensed and registered hand gun. He needed it for work. He was a vehicle repo man. He worked in Delaware but often stayed at his second home in NJ on his off days. One night, while sleeping, he pulled his jacket over him to keep warm, the gun went off peirced through his hand then into his femur shattering the bone, which then required surgery. He was then charged with unlawful possession stating he had no registation in the state of NJ. Then the Investigators advised him that if this happened in his Mom's home, also in NJ, he would not have been charged. He then attained a defense attorney who coercively advised him to a plea deal. WHen he could not contact that defence attorney, he hired a private attorney. The private attorney also scared him into a [lea deal stsing if he doesn't take the deal, he will do 5 years. After signing the plea deal, he had second thoughts. He found out that his private attorney was a tax attorney from PA. He then hired another private attorney. This attorney Moved the court to Withdrawal the guilty plea stating he was illadvised and was not given all possibilities. The judge denied the withdrawal and he is now in jail for at least 1 year, max 5 years. I would like to find out more about this post sentence bonding. If we were to appeal, it would take 6 months, then he would still go through a trial. He was wrongfully advised to save the court trial expenses. This kid is not a violent offender. He should not be in jail. He had no priors. So he would be a perfect candidate for this post sentencing bond. Please reply with information on how I can apply for this bond. Thank You so much.
