Yes. If the person was on parole at the time they were taken into custody by authorities he or she can be detained until it is decided if they have violated the terms of their parole or probation. Typically, a parole hold can only be enforced for a limited amount of time. Some states permit no more than thirty days without new criminal charges, some permit as long as ninety days, with or without new criminal charges.

How do you find out when a California parole hold is lifted?

Ask the parole agent, if you are sentanced and or released and are just waiting for the hold to be lifted, then your just waiting for your parole agent to release the hold and your free to go. my boyfriend has a parole hold, so if he goes to jail, and charges are dropped, he has to wait for his Parole agent to lift the hold.


What if your fiance is in a county jail being held on false charges. im pregnant due in December but he is on a parole hold. any advice how to get help so he can be there when his baby is born?

Since he is on a parole hold, the Court apparently has reason to believe he needs to be held in custody, and cannot be trusted on parole. You have little chance of him being present during the delivery, but you are always free to petition the Court. That is the only way. Were I you, I would plan on taking pictures.

Can you hold someone in jail with no filed charges?

No you can't hold someone because they don't have to do any time or didn't plead guilty


If you are arrested in one County and another County puts a hold on you can you get credit for the time served while waiting transport?

Depends on several factors. For example, if the inmate is arrested on new charges in the county where he is being held, then he will not get credit for time served in the county where the outstanding charges are and for which he is being held. Also, if the person being held for another county is on probation or parole in that county, he will not get credit for time served while waiting to be transferred. Finally, IF the inmate has NOT been charged with new charges in the county where he was picked up and held for the other county, and he is NOT on probation and parole on the county with the hold, then it will be up to the judge who presides over his case in the county he is being held for. Once he is transferred there, that judge can either give credit or not give credit for time served in another county while waiting to be transferred. The good news is that in the vast majority of cases, the judge does give credit if the other conditions above do not apply.


What does hold for state use for parole mean?

Hi, In Texas, when an offender is on parole and gets arrested or charged with a felony crime against the state, parole will put a "no bond" on them until the new charges are resolved. They may have a bond amount set for the new charge, even if you pay that bond, they will not be released.


How long can a state hold you in jail for a vop if you have no new charges and they are waiting on you to be extradited -my son sat in jail for 7 months before original state picked him up?

While on Parole, you are still technically considered to be "In Custody", only you are serving your time in the community. Therefore, if you are arrested on a parole violation, there is usually no statutory limit on how long you can be held while extradition proceedings are underway.


What is a parole hold in California county jail?

A parole hold is generally the authorization to detain a person suspected of violating condition(s) of their parole. Parole holds are governed by federal and state laws, which vary by state. For example, under California laws, a parole officer can impose a hold if the officer concludes that there is reasonable cause to believe the parolee has violated a condition of his parole and is a danger to himself, a danger to the person or property of another, or may abscond. A parole hold authorizes the detention of a parolee charged with an alleged parole violation pending a parole revocation hearing. The parole officer is not required to obtain an arrest warrant prior to placing the hold and taking the parolee into custody. Within seven days after detention pursuant to the parole hold, the parolee must be notified of the reasons for the hold.


When does a parole hold get lifted?

The term of their parole is given to the parolee at the time they are released on parole. If they satisfactorily complete their parole they will be notified of that fact by their Parole Officer or the court.


Can you be held on parole because you caught a new case after the discharge date?

If you failed to report and a warrant was issued before your discharge date for not reporting then yes. If you were arrested on a new charge that is prosecuted before your discharge date then I am pretty sure the parole hold would need cancelled on your discharge date. If you were discharged then "caught a new case" it would not be a parole violation because you would no longer be on parole.
