What is Parole?

Parole occurs when you are released from prison before your sentence has expired. It is done at the discretion of a Parole Board that makes such decisions. When released on parole, you are generally expected to comply with specific terms and conditions while being placed under supervision by a parole agency. Should you violate any of these conditions, you can become subject to what is referred to as a “detainer,” depending on the circumstances surrounding the alleged violation. You will generally have to go before a judge who will determine the merit of the accusations and, if found to be true, decide the consequences. These consequences can include being sent back to prison to serve out your original sentence.

In a parole violation case, you should hire an attorney who is well-versed in the state and federal parole guidelines and who understands how the parole laws can impact your life. In representing you, your attorney can investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the accusation and present a strong defense against them. An attorney can also seek to get a detainer lifted through alternative options. These options can include more lenient penalties such as temporary house arrest, substance abuse treatment, or other possibilities.
