As I understand it, a strawman is like the "front" guy for the illegal activities of another. He takes the wrap and can end up doing time for charges that should be made against the actual perp.

What is ''parole'' in court?
The same as out of Court. Someone who is released from prison before they serve their entire sentence is on "parole" for the remainder of their sentence. For example if someone sits in jail for 6 months on a Felony Stealing charge and gets sentenced to 5 years then they go to prison. The 6 months they sat in jail counts towards their sentence. So if they do 2yrs in prison then get released on parole they are on parole the remainder of their sentence or 2.5 years.

It has been this way for a long time. Once a Court sentences someone to State prison the Court no longer has jurisdiction of the case. The State Dept. of Corrections does and they decide how much time someone will do before eligible for parole.
