Parole and Conditional Release

One of the pros of abolishing parole include keeping known criminals behind bars for the entire length of their sentences. This prevents them from committing new crimes while they should still be in prison and deters other criminals by showing them that the sentence must be fully served.

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?

that is still violating your probation if you dont report, you wont have to give them money no more but they aint going to forget about you, they can send out a bench warrent.

I believe all states in the United States will honor and support the Minnesota conditional release rules.

However, it probably would not be a good idea to leave MN without the court's permission.

See related links for information about Minnesota Conditional Release issues.

Exactly what it says. "Life WITHOUT Parole"...ever! If the court had wanted the defendant to be considered for release at some time in the future he would have been sentenced to simply "Life."

A Texas parolee can do anything that is outlined in the special SISP guide he will receive upon joining the program, which includes working a legitimate job and, in some cases, community service.

The best thing an inmate can do to make a positive impression on the parole board, is to take responsibility for the crime for which he was sentenced. The PB wants to see remorse, genuine remorse. Something to be wary of, sadly, is to not draw excessive notice of any religious beliefs. Parole board members see all to often the jailhouse conversion and have become jaded to this in large part. If asked specific questions regarding his religious convictions (and this is unlikely) he should answer briefly and directly. He should emphasize his desire to be a responsible, contributing member of society. If he has contacts that may offer him work, he should come to the interview with a letter from those contacts, and a letter from the contact sent directly to the PB is always better. Most importantly, he should be genuine and stable.

Please ask a question. This isn't a search engine.

once you have served your probation term and are off you can leave the state

Parole is a controversial political topic.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 16 states have abolished parole and 4 have abolished parole for violent offenders.

The Department of Justice stated in 2005 that about 55% of parolees did not complete their parole. 38% were returned to prison, and 11% disappeared.

These stats remain fairly consistent, which is why states, like New York, have abolished parole for some crimes. It simply does not work.

Two of the forerunners of probation are judicial reprieve and bail. A third forerunner of probation is for a person to be released on their own recognizance.

Right now 18 Nov 2007, One needs a photo ID ( ie photo card driver's licence ) with your birth cirtificate. or the best is to have your Passport.

The US government and Canadian government are still in talks of what is required. Ontario is in developement of a high tech Driver's licence.

But as things are if you walk or drive to enter the US you will need a Passport as of 31 December 2007.

He may find a residence anywhere; unless his parole stipulates conditions on where he can stay.

Probably - although this may vary in different Legal Jurisdictions

In England and Wales this term is used as a consequence of a Probation Officer supervising those subject to various court orders under terms set by those courts, with a duty on the probation officer to report any failings to the court.

However as Probation Officers are no longer directly employed by Courts, they also have to answer to directions set by their employing authority which might cause conflict with the expectations and requirements of the court(s)

Probation Officers also supervise people on release from the custodial part of a criminal sentence and although the sentences are (obviously) imposed by a court the oversight of the supervision is managed by a Government Department - in England and Wales - The Ministry of Justice.

For parole violation, a violator can be immediately sent back to prison to finish their sentence, or have their parole term extended. They could also have certain restrictions placed on their parole such as curfew or electronic tagging, however all punishments depend on severity and the jurisdiction one is in.

You could probably move from your aunts but not in with a boyfriend. You will have to talk to your probation officer.

Yes. Exceptions are almost always made for family members.

In all likliehood, yes.

Yes. If you haven't done so already you have to report it to your probation officer because if they don't find out you can get in any more trouble. The rules state that you have one business day to report it to your PO. Usually if you are found innocent they will drop the PV charge but if they are real jerks they could violate you for having the incident. Hope this helps.

He can, however the consequences are not the same as they would be for a non-convicted person.

For instance, if the felon is on probation or parole when he refuses, he will be taken into custody, and his probation or parole is likely to be violated for not cooperating with a police investigation.

If the felon is no longer on parole or probation, he is still likely to be taken into custody and may be charged with hindering an investigation or interfering with law enforcement.

If there is no clear probable cause, and the felon happens to appear before a scrupulous judge, the felon may be able to have his Fifth Amendment rights upheld. The likelihood of this is very slim (you have better odds of hitting a royal flush in a five hand game of Texas hold em). As a felon, the assumption of Innocent Until Proven Guilty is no longer in play; it's a moot point considering the previous conviction.

35 percent of ten years is 3 and one half years.

Five years probation IS he penalty.

People support it because they believe in second chances and/or to save their taxpayer dollars. Authorities support it because they don't have to house people if they make parole. It can be a revolving door, especially since parole violators are not sent back to prison unless the parolee does something really bad and authorities have no choice. But for a fortunate few, it is a second chance.
