It depends on the state, but I believe(In MASS anyway) you are normally eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of your sentence. However, some states do not even have parole. For example, Maine allows parolees to move here, but we do not have parole. Instead we give "good time", which takes some time off of the sentence and if you receive a suspended sentence, you get out early and serve the rest of your time on probation. If you mess up on probation, you ban be sent back to prison for a part of the rest of you sentence or just for the rest of your sentence. But like I sadi, it depends on the state.

That will depend on his sentence. He may never come up for parole. It is a combination of how much of his term he has served, good behavior and the type of crime.

How does a person serve 144 years in jail?

They don't actually serve it. The expectation is that they will die in prison or will be let out on parole at some point. One of the purposes of very long sentences is to limit how quickly the inmate can come up for parole, or eliminate that possibility completely.


When can you come up for parole when serving a 15 year sentence?

This depends on whether the state has a parole system and if the defendant is eligible for it. For a 15 year sentence, if a state has a parole system, the defendant could be required to serve at least five years, perhaps even more if, for example, the defendant was convicted of violent crime. Each state that has a parole system dictates the minimum time a person must serve before being eligible for parole.

Can a convicted felon live with a person that has a handgun in Indiana?

I do not think so, most states do not permit a convicted felon to be around hand guns. Especially if they are on parole or probation, and the Parole officier can and will come to your home unannounced and if they see that or feel that may be the case, they can violate the parole.


HOW do you make a petition to oppose parole?

Every state has a parole board, although it may not be called that. The parole board reviews the cases of prisoners coming up for parole, and also hears/reads the petitions of citizens favoring or opposed to parole. By calling the parole board in your state, you can find out the procedures for filing such a petition, and where it should be sent. You may be able to appear before the parole board to make your feelings known in person.
