Parole and Conditional Release

At the time of sentencing, the judge will pronounce two periods of time: a minimum and a maximum. for instance, an offender may be given a sentence of 10 to 40 years. The ten years is the minimum, and in Truth in Sentencing states, that offender will do ten years before ever being considered for parole. In states where administrative "good time" is still given, the offender with a ten year sentence could do as little as five years before being considered for parole. It all depends upon the sentencing statutes of the state in which the offender was convicted.

Also, when the offender is delivered to the DOC in your state, the paperwork that accompanies him will display a "Conditional Release Date." This is the soonest he can be considered for parole. It is possible also that in some states the judge may pronounce a "flat" sentence, that is only one period of time will be mentioned in the sentence, say ten years. Depending on the sentencing laws of that state, the offender may have to do the full sentence and discharge from prison at the end with no parole, or he could be held on parole for a determined or indeterminate amount of time. The law is capricious about sentencing.

You are on parole for the prescribed period of parole, that is until you are discharged. This may seem confusing, but it is not intended to be. Parole is typically a matter of two years. It can be as little as one, but rarely is. It can also be for periods of five years, ten years, and is some instances life. But, once a parolee is discharged from parole, the period of parole and the jurisdiction of the DOC (Department of Corrections) over the offender are over.

10 to life for a violent crime= less than 5% of those serving will be paroled.

10 to life for non-violent crime= less than 20% of those serving will be paroled.

10 to life for crimes against children=less than 3% of those serving will be paroled.

There are many factors that are considered. In addition to the classification of the the crime (such as seen above), the behavior of the individual while incarcerated is considered, whether or not they have a job lined up if they were to be paroled is looked at, and some states have what's called PRC or Post Release Control and the parole board will see if the inmate is ready and qualified for such control options like that. Just as a further note I'd like for the person who gave the above information to give citation as I have not seen figures of that nature before, and they seem off to me.

Generally, a sentencing judge based upon the sentencing guidelines of the state in which the offender was convicted, will establish a minimum time before the offender's case is reviewed by the parole board.

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

Primarily, it is unusual for LWP inmates to receive parole in any state.

no he cant

If this person is not picked up, they are taken to the closest bus station.

There are Probation Officers and then there are Federal Probation officers... Who pays them? The goverment! As a Probation officer i get paid by the State and enjoy all the health benefits that the state offers.

It is strictly up to the probation officer. I think that it also depends on the violation, i.e., is it a technical violation (not reporting, not paying supervision fees, fines) or was there another crime "allegedly" committed. But usually, yes. And as far as the "10 day rule"....that is not true. I have known of people being incarcerated waiting for another state to come pick them up for up to 30 days, not counting weekends. Your question is rather vague. I don't know if said person is currently incarcerated. I think it also depends on when the violation occurred. I am certainly no expert, but am speaking from what I know and what *I* have seen with my own eyes. The best thing to do is to contact the probation officer or the probation office (if the specific officers name is not known). Hope this helps!

Yes

No. If you violated the terms of your sentence by violating it, you never satisfactorily completed your sentence.

Yes, a parole officer has full restrictive and disciplinary power over the parolees under his supervision.

A family member who is subjected to the general or the special conditions of parole may have his premises and belongings searched. Other members of the household are not subjected to intrusive searches of their belongings, which include closets and bureau drawers. Parole officers may seize contraband found in plain view and may prefer charges. In the case of computers, there may be a basis for a search -- most likely with a warrant -- if the parolee has access to a home computer. However, the decision to search depends upon the reason for his conviction. For example, if the parolee -- who was convicted for the possession of child pornography that was obtained from the internet -- has access to your computer, there may be grounds to search your computer.

Well, you could be charged with aiding and abetting. If the violation was a new felony, you could be charged in connection with that crime, tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison.

Yes I enjoy painting Cars!! I have been doing this for 15yrs!

Unless there is a statute prohibiting it, a judge has no requirement to credit time served in pre-trial detention to a sentence.

Yes, Commercial divers are trained out of Chino State Prison in California. I have a felony and am currently enrolled in at the Ocean Corporation in Houston. I already have a job lined up when I graduate. You have to be able to obtain a TWIC card and that means no felonies for drug trafficking, smuggling weapons, drugs, or people over international waters or airways. So get some loans from the GOV and get on with life! Semper Fi

If it is a traffic violation, you can call the number on the ticket to find out what you owe. If it's a fine for a misdemeanor, such as disturbing the peace, etc., then you can call the police department or city hall to find out.

Yes. If the main item of sale is food then it is not really considered a bar, but a restaurant.

It is going to be up to the parole board. It is possible that they will allow him to continue on parole, or will revoke his parole, where he will have to complete his sentence.

It depends on the felony conviction. Especially if the felon is child predator.

File a motion with the judge that sentenced you to probation, to shorten your sentence. Since probation is a pretty lenient sentence, you would probably have to give some pretty good reasons why he should be even more lenient on you.

For that answer you must refer to conditions of YOUR OWN probation. If there are prohibitions in it about consorting with known criminals, you might have a bit of a problem - OR - considering it's marriage you're talking about, maybe not. This is not a question that can be accurately answered on this site. Ask your defense attorney - your PO - or the court for clarification.

VERY unlikely. You are more likely to be remanded to jail to serve the remainder of your sentence. If you couldn't be trusted the first time around, why should the judge trust you a second time?

Judge's give second chances all the time. It really depends on what kind of violation it is.

Added:

It honestly depends on what your violation was, and what the first offense was. It is very frequent that the probation office wants to just extend probation or add additional conditions and not actually send the defendant to jail/prison. In drug cases, sometimes the defendant WANTS them to revoke probation so he/she can just serve their time, however, the judges often will refuse to do so and will extend it and add a condition of intensive drug treatment. With the overcrowding of prisons and jails, if the person seems remorseful and willing to comply, MOST judges as well as prosecutors will offer another chance.

I'm not certain I understand your question, but I will attempt it:

Inmates are periodically moved from facility to facility for population reason, for security reasons, and for disciplinary reasons. While not familiar with Lewis Bachman, it will be much the same there. Earlier this year, approximately 200 inmates were moved to facilities out of state due to overcrowded conditions. This is not unusual for any facility. The states cooperate with each other to some extent, allowing inmates from other states to be housed in open beds. The original state pays "rent" for housing inmates in other states.

The length of time any inmate remains at any facility is largely determined by one of two conditions: facility need, or inmate behavior. Inmates who follow the rules, are where they should be when the should be, and cause few to no problems, typically can earn their way to lower levels and ostensibly better facilities. This is not always the case and is dependent upon facility need.

What ever is determined to be the best course of action for the facility and for the DOC over all, guides everything. This includes safety and security concerns.

If on the other hand you are asking when an inmate will be released on discharge or parole, that is determined by the inmate's individual release date. If he is granted parole, that date will be given to him on his parole decision papers. If he is to be discharged because he served his entire term, the discharge date on all of his papers will be the date he is released. These two dates can also usually be determined by viewing the inmate's information on the state's DOC Inmate Locator page of the state's DOC website.
