Hi @shannon44,
I’d say yes to this! Physical barriers do not prevent the flow of energy. Unless there are spiritual barriers in place, your spiritual energy (magick) should have no problem reaching its intended recipient.
I’m with John on this one- for all of the wonderful and miraculous things that magick can do, magick in the physical world must follow the laws of nature- aka the laws of physics here on Earth. If there is a spell out there that can twist and contort time itself, I have not found it. I don’t think the divine would allow any one human to wield that kind of chaotic and corruptive power- messing with time as a whole would cause a lot of havoc for a lot of people!
That being said, magick done outside of the physical world (such as the astral planes or in lucid dreaming) is not bound to the laws of physics. While it likely won’t affect the situation within the physical world and the current timeline we are in, you could explore options for meeting and spending time with your loved via Astral Travel and Lucid Dreaming.
Additionally, it sounds like there are spells out there that could be done to lessen the sentence- those could be worth looking into it! I know we have some justice and court-related spells on the site- not knowing the details involved, I’m not sure if they would be helpful for you, but as they deal with legal matters they could potentially be adapted to suit your needs.
Whatever you choose to do, wishing you all the best, Shannon! Blessed be
