Parole board members do not have the authority to override a sentencing judge's decision; their role is to evaluate an inmate's suitability for parole based on behavior, rehabilitation, and risk assessment. While they can grant or deny parole, they operate within the framework set by the original sentence and the law. If a judge imposes a specific sentence, including any conditions, the parole board must adhere to that when making parole decisions.

Indeterminate sentencing is a system in which an offender is sentenced to a minimum and maximum amount of time, e.g. 5 - 20 years. After the 5 year period the offender would be up for parole, and if the parole board sensed that the offender was rehabilitated he would be released.

Depends on the circumstances and whether parole was even an option at sentencing. The thumb rule is that parole would be likely after 3-4 years. But this varies from state to state and the history involved. Equally, a six year sentence could be just that...six years and no parole option. So it is hard to comment without details.
Yes. Your parole will expire regardless of owing fees. In Missouri after completion of parole term the State can intercept State income tax refund to apply towards fees. What else would happen if not discharged? A person will not be returned to prison for owing fees. That would cost the State more to incarcerate someone right?
There are many factors involved in determining sentencing. If it was in self-defense, you might not even be charged. If it was pre-meditated, it could be the death sentence or life in prison without parole.
Generally, violation of a condition of parole means you will have a hearing before the parole board or a special "hearing officer" appointed by the government, and if it is determined during that hearing that you did in fact violate your parole conditions your parole will be revoked and you will go back to prison to serve out the remainder of your term. You'll have a chance at the hearing to defend yourself, but it's kind of hard to argue with a positive drug test.If the parole violation is itself a crime (which it might be for a drug test), then you could ADDITIONALLY face a separate trial and possible sentencing for that, which would be added to your original sentence.
This, of course, depends upon the sentencing laws of your state, but consecutive sentences are given for a reason--more time will be served. For instance, if an offender is sentenced to three consecutive two to ten year sentences, that offender would have to serve at least two years before being considered for parole (in Truth in Sentencing states such as Michigan). At that point, if he is granted parole, it is for the first sentence only, and he would begin serving his second sentence. Two years later, the process would repeat, and then again for the third, totaling six years served before he is eventually released on parole. This will hold true, provided there are not specific laws in place in your state that permit all three cases to be reviewed for parole consideration simultaneously.Specific to Michigan, it is unlikely a person so sentenced (three 2-10 years consecutives) would be seriously considered for parole for either of the first two sentences, and he would serve twenty-two years before being considered for any sort of conditional release.
A person convicted of a felonious second degree crime with a fifteen year sentence would receive parole consideration at the same time a person convicted of a first or third or fourth degree felony would be considered. The degree of the crime is directly related to the motivation behind the commission of the crime; it has nothing to do with the amount of time elapsed before parole consideration.That being said, if the offender is incarcerated in a state with Truth in Sentencing laws, and the "15 years" is his minimum sentence, sadly he will serve fifteen years before being considered. This is so unless/until the state legislature reviews the sentencing laws of the state and decide to make changes. If the offender is incarcerated in a state that does not have Truth in Sentencing (Minimum time statues), and that state awards "Good Time" credit, he could do as little as seven and a half years, if the 15 is his minimum.
I would have to go with 100 that the override value I use. -tech-
If the person received a twenty-five (25) year sentence, 1995 sentencing rules require that they serve 85% of 25 years before release. If there is no supervision to follow, they are simply released. If they have supervision to follow their prison sentence, they would have to report to a probation office upon release. Parole was abolished in 1986 but there are many forms of supervision, probation, community control, controlled release, etc.
I would say the most likely time to see one would be if your on parole.
