Yes, they may petition for parole unless the sentence specifically states"without parole."
No, life without the possibility of parole means just that, there is no chance of parole
A juvenile parole officer is someone with a BS whom is assigned to juveniles out of prison and help them get back into normal life. A juvenile probation officer is assigned to the child as an alternative to jail/prison and to keep an eye on the child. The caseworker is in charge or directing and guiding the child when it comes to the actually law stuff. Probation Officer = Before Jail/Prison Parole Officer = After incarceration
Until June 25, 2012 there was life without parole for Juveniles in the US. The case is Miller v. Alabama if you want to look it up. In this case the Supreme Court ruled that life without parole was cruel and unusual punishment.In Graham v. Florida (2010) the Supreme Court ruled that life without the possibility of parole was okay if the crime was murder.Unitl 2005 in Roper v. Simmons, juveniles could be put to death.These are the "big three" dates in juvenile law.
Depending on what the original crime was, the juvenile may be transferred to adult court. In the juvenile court system, things aren't black and white. The parole officers and the judges work together to try and figure out what the best course of action is for the juvenile. The odds of getting paroled again are very small.
Parole boards do not try cases, therefore those they see are no longer defendants. If a parole case is "dismissed," the offender is "released" immediately after his hearing to return to his "house" (That is cell, room, cubical, bed--the place he is housed).
If the juvenile has simply gotten into trouble as a repeat runaway; into trouble without harming other people and the juvenile has remorse then the courts should not punish the juvenile, but they could use 'house arrest' or a parole officer to contain the actions of juvenile if they continue to get into trouble. If the juvenile has committed a serious crime such as murder then they should be held in a Juvenile facility until they are old enough to go to court for that murder and should receive the punishment in accordance to that State's law.
