Best Answer

If some convict has been rehabilitated, and is ready to leave prison and to become a productive member of society, then both the convict and society will benefit from his or her early release; it is very expensive to keep people in prison, and prisoners are generally not accomplishing much if anything with their lives while in prison. So, a well run parole board can make an accurate assessment about who should and should not be granted an early release.

How do you get in front of a parole board after you have served your minimum time?

Two ways. Either call your lawyer and ask him/her to set up a parole hearing for you. Or you just wait until the parole board sends you a kite and lets you know that you have a parole date. Just because you have served your minimum sentence though doesnt mean that you are even up for parole or if the parole board even wants to hear your case right now.
