Is work release possible for parole violation in Texas?
In Texas, work release programs are generally not available for individuals who have violated their parole. Upon a parole violation, the individual typically faces a revocation hearing, which may lead to incarceration or other penalties. However, some options for rehabilitation, like placement in certain programs, may be considered depending on the specifics of the case and the discretion of the parole board. Ultimately, the availability of any work-related programs post-violation hinges on individual circumstances and legal processes.
When will spm be eligible for parole?
No, he has not shown any signs of remorse or exhibited that he is sorry or that he has taken steps to be a better person. He has not taken responsibility and is cocky and defiant. There are new rumors that more information about him is coming out soon from former Dope House employee Mo Hustle.
In the State of Maryland, a landlord has 45 days from the date a residential tenant vacates the premises to return any security deposit, minus any deductions for damage.
Within 30 days of the date the tenant vacates, the landlord must notify the tenant in writing of any damage deductions being taken from the security deposit. If a landlord fails to return any portion of the security deposit rightly owed to the tenant, the tenant can sue the landlord for up to three times the amount of the security deposit that was wrongly withheld, plus attorney fees.
Maryland has many online legal self-help resources on landlord-tenant law and other subjects. For a directory of these resources, visit the Maryland Courts Self-Help Directory related link.
What percentage of inmates successfully complete parole?

Can felons obtain a dealers license ca?
In California, felons can obtain a dealer's license under certain circumstances. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may deny or revoke a dealer's license if the applicant has been convicted of a felony involving fraud, violence, or vehicle-related crimes. However, each case is evaluated on its own merits, and the DMV takes into consideration factors like the time that has passed since the conviction and the applicant's rehabilitation efforts.
A probation period is a designated period of time at the start of employment during which the employee's performance and suitability for the job are closely monitored and evaluated. It allows employers to assess the employee's skills, work ethic, and fit within the company before making a long-term commitment. During this period, either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment contract without notice.
Should you tell your parole officer that you were arrested in a different county?
It is strongly advised that you do. When, not "if", he finds out, he is more likely to simply violate your parole, rather than let the law takes it's course, provided you are not the one from whom he learns of it. Do what you must, not what you want, and take what hit may come. Then, learn from it and live right.
Is paying court fines late a probation violation?
Paying court fines late can be considered a probation violation, depending on the terms of the probation. If the payment of fines is a requirement of the probation and there is a specified deadline for payment, not adhering to that deadline can be seen as a violation of the terms. However, specific circumstances and jurisdictional regulations may vary.
What can be done about a Probation officer who is not enforcing the court order?
If a probation officer is not enforcing a court order, the individual can try the following steps:
- Document the instances where the probation officer is not following the court order, noting dates, times, and specific details.
- Report the issue to a supervisor or higher-ranking officer within the probation department, providing the documented evidence.
- If there is still no resolution, consult with an attorney or public defender to explore further legal options, such as filing a motion to address the non-compliance in court.
Would the abolition of parole lead to a greater use of probation?
This is just observation, but look at the situation in the state of Michigan as an example of what might happen if paroles are abolished. The potential for inmates to serve full terms in Michigan if not granted parole at their first review is nearly 100%. There are currently 51,049 (approximately) in Michigan's 48 correctional facilities. Michigan has one of the highest per capita prison populations in the US, and paroles the fewest inmates (those who are sentenced to any term with the verbage "life" in the sentencing language will never be paroled per the former chief of the state parole board and Patricia Caruso, the current Director of the MDOC, "Life means life.")
What does this all mean? Well, up until 1995 the MDOC was not only self-sufficient, the DOC industries produced a surplus for the state. Currently, the MDOC budget is $1.9 billion dollars, over 20% of the state's discretionary spending. MDOC inmate populations in the '80's and '90's was around 20,000. By 2002, that number had doubled, and by 2004 the population of the MDOC had climbed to it's current range. In 1949, only around 50,000 felony convictions had been handed down in Michigan (as determined by prisoner identification numbers--Michigan does not reissue prisoner numbers). By 1989 that number had climbed at about ten percent per year to around 180,000. By 2004 the numbers were over 500,000. And, by 2009 that number began approaching 800,000. To sum that up:
* 1949 = 50,000 * 1989 = 180,000 (up by 130,000 in forty years) * 2009 = 800,000 (Up by 620,000 in twenty years) In reality, while paroles are still issued in the state of Michigan, they are so limited as to approach the odds of winning the lottery. The manner in which parolees are determined to warrant parole is similar to lottery winner selection as well. Effectively, Michigan is essentially a parole free state. Yet, the convicted are still being sent to prison rather than probation alternatives.
Part of the motivation for this is the obvious bottom line; prisoners in Michigan equal money. The state claims it costs on average $30,000 a head to house prisoners for one year. The MDOC is the largest department of government in the state, hiring nearly 15,000 people in and after 1995 during the state's hiring freeze. The bulk of inmates housed by the state are kept in "pole barns," dormitory style housing units meant for roughly 180 inmates but housing over 250. This increases the transmission rate of diseases and promotes frictious social interaction among inmates (the unofficial death rate at one of the state's "Medical Care" facilites was around 20 inmates per month in 2004 & 2005--the MDOC's prison hospital Dwane Waters is located within one mile of the facility, G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility, and ambulance services were available on site 24/7, yet medical personnel response times ranged from thirty minutes to over an hour).
Michigan has paid exorbitant settlements for repeated inmate abuse, most recently $1.5 million to approximately 150 female inmate planitffs for sexual harassment and abuse (ranging from verbal harassment to violent rape--although only two prison staff have ever been convicted of any sexual crime against inmates in the past ten years, as reported by the state's newspapers.) In 2004 the Detroit Freepress reported that over 155 births had taken place to women who had been incarcerated in the MDOC for periods of time longer than one year--Michigan does not permit congugal visits--now do the math.
Thirty thousand dollars a head, times 51,049, equals $1,531,470,000, that's one billion, five hundred thirty-one million, four hundred seventy thousand dollars. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars that inmates generate for the state in the few prison industries that remain in operation (one is a panel-home building program that is run from two facilities: Freeland near Saginaw and Mid-Michigan Correctional in St. Louis), as well as prisoner craft and artwork, and prisoner grown produce sales. Now,remember, the MDOC buget is $1.9 billion. Where does the other $5 million in official state funding go? What about the uncounted thousands, tens of thousand, hundreds of thousand, or millions in prisoner generated revenue? Well, no one seems to care. At least, no one has seen fit to search for it yet. Instead, whenever the states beloved Canadian Governor ever mentions anything about Michigan prisons or inmates, she invariably uses the language, "Violent Offenders." Keep in mind there are fewer than a thousand murderers in the MDOC. Assault is usually a jailable offense in Michigan, unless a weapon is used (actually used not brandished or threatened). that leaves alcohol related cases, nonpayment of child support, mulitple drug convictions, internet crimes, and crimes with a sexual component (ranging from public urination--no fooling--to rape). They are a dangerous group. In fact, the state has only three high security facilities that house fewer than 1300 inmates each, and it is shutting one of those down if the federal government decides against sending the Gitmo terrorist to Standish.
What would happen if the parole system was shut down? The individual states in the US would probably take a lesson from Michigan and build and "refurbish"--that's a funny concept that hasn't been discussed--more prisons, to house more inmates, to make more money.
---- Oh, the "refurbishing" joke? The "Seven-Block" unit of quarantine at Sourthern Michigan Correctional Facility has been condemned, closed, given a paint job and a new street address, and reopened with a slightly different name at least three times in the past ten years. You'll notice no mention of "structural repair" or "reconstruction" in the previously outlined "refurbishing." Also, the majority of the work done in the "refurbishing" projects is done exclusively by inmates with inmate or civilian contractor supervison. Seven-Block is one of the oldest structures used by the MDOC at almost 100 years old. At least prison officials exterminated the birds and some of the rodents that used to infest the building.
Where do parole officers work?
Parole officers typically work for government agencies, such as the Department of Corrections or local probation and parole departments. They work primarily in office settings, but they also conduct field visits to meet with parolees in the community, monitor their compliance with parole conditions, and provide support and guidance.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on various factors such as your metabolism, body weight, and the alcohol content of the beer. However, in general, consuming two 24 oz cans of beer within a few hours could potentially result in a positive urine test for alcohol the next morning. It is always best to allow ample time for your body to metabolize the alcohol before taking any alcohol tests.

Can a convicted felon bow hunt in Texas?
It is a federal offense for a convicted felon to own or POSSESS firearms anywhere, under ANY circumstances. (USC, Title 18) Being "around" or hunting "with" persons carrying firearms puts him in "constructive" possession of a firearm. Ask yourself, 'Would a "reasonable" person believe that someone went out in the field hunting with others even though he had no weapon?' I doubt it. I wouldn't risk it.
