In Florida, a parole board follows guidelines that include assessing the inmate's behavior while incarcerated, the nature of the crime, the offender's criminal history, and the likelihood of rehabilitation. They also consider input from victims and law enforcement, as well as any psychological evaluations. The board aims to balance public safety with the potential for reintegration into society. Ultimately, decisions are influenced by statutory criteria and the specifics of each case.
Parole Board of Canada was created in 1959.
Generally, a sentencing judge based upon the sentencing guidelines of the state in which the offender was convicted, will establish a minimum time before the offender's case is reviewed by the parole board. Typically, LWP inmates do not see the parole board or a representative; rather, their files are reviewed and a determination is made. Primarily, it is unusual for LWP inmates to receive parole in any state.
SEE discussion page for comment:
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.
While on parole a person must follow more rules than the average citizen. Breaking more laws or not following your special conditions on parole is called a VIOLATION. Violations all have punishments which usually mean going back to the clink.
When an inmate is taken before the parole board, they can be accepted or denied for parole. When they are placed on parole, the parole board will assign a parole officer to monitor that person. The parolee is required to follow state mandated conditions as well as conditions that are required for their specific crimes.
a date of releases from parole
No, life without the possibility of parole means just that, there is no chance of parole
If the parolee is ordered by the parole board not to consume alcohol. Some parolees do not have that as a condition of parole.
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.
Only the parole board of the state Department of Correction and the Governor have the power to grant parole.
