In the US, each state has its own corrections policies for their respective prison systems. This is because the US Constitution is set up to allow states to handle all powers not granted to the Federal government. With that in mind, states create policies for parole that meet their needs. There is one common thread, however, that all states agree about. That policy is this: anyone on parole who breaks the parole "rules", will be sent back to prison and their parole is revoked.

How long does it take to get your discharge papers after compleating parole?

The time it takes to receive your discharge papers after completing parole can vary depending on the probation department's processing times and workload.

It is best to follow up with your probation officer or parole officer for more specific information on when you can expect to receive your discharge papers.


Can a person be on probation and parole at the same time?

Yes, however, it's very rare. Under general circumstances, if the individual is on parole, then they've just been released from a state correctional facility. For the individual to be put on probation (after release), it means that the parolee committed a new crime, which means the parolee also violated the parole agreement. If this were to happen, usually, the parole would be revoked and the individual would go back to prison. However, in rare circumstances, the parole board will give the parolee "another chance", and not send the parolee to prison.

Typically, LWP inmates do not see the parole board or a representative; rather, their files are reviewed and a determination is made.
