If you were on parole, then you KNEW what your original sentence was. If your parole was revoked there is no need to tell you how much time you have to serve - it will be the same as your original sentence. UNLESS - your parole was revoked because you committed another offense. THEN - not only will you serve your original sentence your prison time will be increased by whatever the sentence is for your new offense.
A blue warrant is a violation of probation/parole
If a person bolts his parole, when he is apprehended he will be sent back to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence behind bars and quite probably with additional time added to his sentence.
Parole differs from probation in that parolees, unlike probationers, have been incarcerated. Parole supported the concept of indeterminate sentencing, which held that a prisoner could earn early release through good behavior and self-imprisonment.
In some jurisdictions, individuals serving a life sentence may be eligible for parole after serving a certain portion of their sentence. Parole eligibility is determined by factors such as the severity of the crime, behavior in prison, and fulfillment of rehabilitation programs. It ultimately depends on the laws and guidelines of the specific jurisdiction.
You will be in jail for the rest of your life with a chance of parole. When a person receives an indeterminate life sentence (7-to-life, 15-to-life, 25-to-life, etc.), that person may spend his or her life in prison. However, once 2/3 of the base sentence (7, 15, 25, etc.) is served, the inmate can try to parole. In California, parole is determined through a hearing. At the hearing, an inmate must prove that he or she is not currently dangerous to the free community. Two commissioners preside at the hearing. If the agree that the inmate is not dangerous, they can grant parole. The governor must then approve the commissioners' decision.
in arizona, i know you have to do 85% of your time before you can go before the parole board.
If YOU are the one who violated, and you believe you are going to be revoked - I wouldn't write a letter of explanation - I would write a request to appear in person to plead your case. It would probably make a better impression.
The term "30 to life" refers to a criminal sentence where a person is sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after serving that time. The "life" part of the sentence means that the person could potentially remain in prison for the rest of their life if they are not granted parole.
The question is unclear. If you are on parole and violate the law and have to appear in court on another charge, it is quite likely that your parole may be affected or even revoked, depending on the severity of the new charge. If you are simply on parole and subpoenaed to attend a hearing relating to your parole case, you had BEST attend or risk having a bench warrant issued for you. Parole is NOT a -get-out-of-jail-free" card! You are still serving your sentence.
In Georgia, a life sentence typically means the person will spend the rest of their life in prison without the possibility of parole.
If you stop reporting, you have violated the release provisions of your parole and are in violation of your sentence. My advice would be to get back in contact with your PO as soon as possible or you will find yourself a wanted person and subject to being returned to jail/prison for the remainder of your sentence.
No. The sentence the convicted person receives is from the court. The parole board has no authority higher than the sentencing court, and may not modify nor augment and existing sentence. The only authority held by the parole board is associated with release and supervison after release.
