How much time is usually served on life with parole possible?

This would be determined by the individual state statutes or the actual sentence of the court. Typically it is the neighborhood of twenty years, but can vary widely.

Who do you contact after you graduate in order to get a job?

You need to contact as many people in management or Human Resources in the companies where you wish to get a job as soon as possible. Before you contact them, get a job application from the company and fill it out at home (if they will let you bring it home with you). Before you bring it back, make sure that the person who will be conducting the interview will be available to speak with you. Also, bring a copy of your resume, along with letter(s) of recommendation.

If the person who does the interviewing is not available when you get there, do not just leave your application, resume, and letter of recommendation with the receptionist. Tell her you will come back at a later time, and bring them with you again when you return. The one who does the hiring wants to be able to put a face with the application.

And be sure to dress appropriately for the interview, but don't over do it. If you are a woman, don't wear as much make-up as you would for a New Year's Eve party, be a little more conservative. If you are a man with no beard or moustache, be sure you are clean shaven; if you do have facial hair, make sure it is neatly trimmed.

During the interview, always look the interviewer in the eye while talking to them instead of looking at the floor, around the room, etc. This shows a sincere interest the job, and shows respect for the person interviewing you. And one more very important thing, unless the company has an add in the paper instructing you to do so, do not just fax, email, or snail mail your resume to the company.

When I was still working (office management), I never hired anyone who didn't care enough about the job to bother to come in person. And, once you have been in the job field for a while, it will not look good to have a lot of previous employers on your application; this indicates a lack of responsibility. I always called them "job hoppers" and never hired them. Also, never call the company on the phone and ask them if they are hiring; this is an indication of laziness to many employers.

If you are really sincere about finding a job, you need to spend the same number of hours every day looking for a job as you would working at a job you already have, so be prepared to "hit the pavement". And you do not have to contact only the companies who have advertised an open position. Actually, the best jobs I had were ones which had no position advertised - I made what I call "cold calls".

Make a list of the companies you would like to work for, then go there in person and apply for a position with them. That way, when a postion does become available, they will already have your resume and application on file. If, after a few weeks, you still have not had any response or calls from any of the places where you have applied, give them a courtesy call to let them know you are still interested in working for their company. This will let them know you are sincere about wanting to work; just don't over do it an make a pest of yourself or be pushy.

After you get an interview with the one who does the hiring, mail them a hand written note, thanking them for their time and the interview. This will serve several purposes: 1) It will let them know you are professional. 2) It will let them know you are serious about wanting to work there. 3) It will also be a bit of a reminder, keeping your name in the forefront.

If you have complete probation does the conviction stay on your record?

Yes, unless you have the conviction expunged; however, the arrest record remains forever.

What are the penalties for breaking probation?

When released on parole from jail or prison, each inmate is given a set of requirements under which they must live while released in society. Any violation of these requirements exposes them to a charge of Violation of Parole (VOP) and could be punishable by their return to jail/prison for the remainder of their sentence.

Can you be in formal probation in two counties?

Yes you can. But the county in which you live will be the one in which you'll be on probation. The judge can add special terms and conditions to match the needs of the justice system of both counties.

Do communities have the right to be informed when a convict is released from prison?

Convicts are released from prison everyday in every state into many communities. How would a community be informed? If someone has a question about a particular person being released call your local parole office and they can tell you if that person is still incarcerated or if they have been released. If that person is on parole they cannot give you the offender's address. If a sex offender it is different. Most counties have a website where registered sex offenders' address information is available.

Which of these is the correct description of probation?

Allowing a convicted person to remain at liberty while being subjected to certain conditions and restrictions.

Can you have a dog in Idaho when on parole?

Probably--but you would be better advised to ask that question to your parole officer. Are you on parole for animal cruelty or something similar? If you are, I'd bet the PO will say "NO!".

Is it a good thing if a parole officer shows up at your house before the inmate finds out his results for parole?

It can be a good indication that the offender will get parole, but it is no guarantee. It is possible (although not probable) that it is policy that the PO inspect all potential parolee placements. The reason it is improbable is the sheer number of inspections the PO's would be required to do, so it is likely they focus only on those likely to be granted parole.

If someone violates probation what happens?

Nothing, unless they get caught, in which case there is an good chance they will go to jail.

Will North Dakota extradite you from AZ on a probation violation warrant?

It may depend if the Probation Violation is a misdemeanor or felony. If it is a felony they can extradite, if it is a misdemeanor then they may not.

However, where the law is concerned, never say "never!" All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses and crimes of violence.
