Parole & Hearing Information

Parole
Parole is the conditional release of a prison inmate after serving all or part of his/her sentence, allowing the inmate to live in the community under supervision for the parole period. The decision to grant an inmate parole is the responsibility, in a majority of states, of a board of parole or commission. A violation of the conditions of parole is serious, and can result in revocation and re-imprisonment. Parole violations may subject a defendant to at least one year in county jail.

Parole Violation Hearings
If there is a Parole Violation hearing, usually attorneys are excluded from the hearing. In fact, most Parole hearings involve just the Parolee, the Parolee's Probation Officer, and a small committee. Unfortunately, in most cases, an attorney cannot assist in your Parole Violation hearing.
