What is the difference between probation and parole?
Probation is handed down by the judge at trial. It may be in lieu of jail time or in combination with some jail time. The judge will specify restrictions on the offender's activities during the probationary period. Parole is granted by a parole board, after the offender has served some -- or perhaps a lot of -- time. The parole board may consider factors such as the offender's behavior in prison and level of rehabilitation, and let him or her out early. The parole board can also specify restrictions on the person's activities while on parole.
Why do most parole boards deny inmates the legal representation at parole release hearings?
Simply because it is not a Constitutional requirement. Those facing a parole board are doing so post conviction. The only time a US citizen is guaranteed access to legal representation for any sort of hearing is pre-conviction. Additionally, as an inmate of a state correctional facility, the offender is a ward of the state. It can be argued that the parole hearing is for the benefit of the offender, and the parole board already represents the offender.
