Is there any apratments that rents to felons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately none that I am aware of. I know this does not really answer your question, but perhaps this next part will guide you.

Start with the A's and end with the Z's. You will have to call every single one in the phone book and ask them directly. There is no need to identify yourself or the person you are trying to help. You may soon find that no complex will rent to a felon, and the state and federal governments are perfectly willing to allow this form of discrimination.

Another thing you can do is simply have the person you are attempting to help go and apply. If this person is of a minority group, and his application is denied, he has a lock case for "De Facto Discrimination."

Of course, I understand all too well that the important part is to get him a place of residence right now. You will find greater success with private landlords.

Can you bond on a parole violation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In most states, NO. Depends on whether the original charge was a capital crime. The higher the original charge, the less likely you are to get a bond.

Also, the circumstance will play into it as well. If the probation violation is, let's say, a stalking that you have re-commited, then the public safety is at risk and therefore most judges will deny allowing a bond.

ADDED CLARIFICATION: Probation is a sentence for being adjudged GUILTY of a crime you committed. A lenient sentence, but a sentence nonetheless! If you violate the conditions of your sentence (probation) it is the same as if you had violated a rule while in jail. There is no bond for such an offense. The judge will decide your fate and, depending on the seriousness of your VOP, you could be sent to jail to serve the remainder of your sentence behind bars.

When does a person come up for parole?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the state, but I believe(In MASS anyway) you are normally eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of your sentence. However, some states do not even have parole. For example, Maine allows parolees to move here, but we do not have parole. Instead we give "good time", which takes some time off of the sentence and if you receive a suspended sentence, you get out early and serve the rest of your time on probation. If you mess up on probation, you ban be sent back to prison for a part of the rest of you sentence or just for the rest of your sentence. But like I sadi, it depends on the state.

If you commit a felony crime it will stay on your record for the rest of your life unless you get a pardon or get the felony expunged. You will need a lawyer and a lot of patience to get this off your record.

A sentence of imprisonment that is suspended is what?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A suspended jail term usually means that an offender doesn't have to serve sentenced jail time because of some sort of deal w/ a court. For example "if you stay out of trouble and do community service for 10 months, your jail sentence will be cleared"

It depends on the severity of the felony and if the felon is a registered sex offender. Each housing authority has the right to make its decision on the basis of a felony conviction. But felonies-- except homicides and sex offenses-- of over three years old generally are overlooked.

Can an ex felon get a cdl in Oklahoma?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. However, your chances of finding employment as a CDL driver with a felony conviction are slim, and you won't be eligible to receive a Hazmat endorsement.

By the way, the only way you'd be an "ex-felon" is if you were acquitted of the charge after your conviction.

What are probation and parole?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probation and parole are very similar. They are both forms of supervision by the state or federal government, with standard and special conditions assigned to every defendant. A probation or parole officer is usually the same person who supervises both types of cases. There may be special types of probation and parole, which are handled by specially trained officers of those categories, such as for sex offenders and drug offenders.

Probation is a sentence handed by the court, in which the offender is supervised by the state or federal government (either the state's Department of probation, Department of Corrections, or other similar agency, or the US probation department). If the offender violates any of the conditions of probation he can be arrested and returned to the court for hearing on such violation. The judge can then sentence the probationer to more probation, modify conditions of probation, community control (also known as house arrest), or incarceration. Probation can either follow incarceration or be given instead of incarceration (in the case of the former this is known as a split sentence).

In states that have parole system (the federal government doesn't) parole may be granted to an inmate. Because parole is granted by the parole board of the Department of Corrections of that state, the offender is still considered inmate, and can be returned directly to prison without any jurisdiction of the courts if he violates the terms of his parole. The parole can range from a couple of years to the rest of what would be the offender's term of incarceration.

Will an order of protection violate someone on parole?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the Order of Protection was put in place as part of your sentence or condition of parole, no the existence of the actual order does not constitute a violation. If you have done something to warrant the issuance of a PPO, or if you have done something to violate an existing one, then yes, this would constitute a violation and you could be returned to prison for such.

Can a felon own an air rifle in Tennessee?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He can, but doing so is a violation of federal felony firearms regulations. It is not legal anywhere in the US for a felon to be in possession (and that can include close proximity to) of a firearm. Federal regulation denotes a firearm as any device that expels a projectile by means of explosive force. An air rifle fits that definition.
