No. Parole is an option that is determined at sentencing by the judge. If parole is available to you, you would likely get a chance to reduce your time served and not have to do the entire bid inside. Not all offenders are given parole as an option in their Judgement and Commitment order. If you don't have that option you will do 85% of your sentence and then get released. You will immediately report to the Probation Office and

If he is not in the state prison system or the federal BOP, there are no online postings for release dates. Even some states still do not have the release dates posted on their website.  We would simply ask your inmate, because every inmate knows the exact day they are leaving.

There is very little likelihood that Prop 57 will help. There is not enough time for processing the petition to affect them as they are out in three weeks.

It is our understanding that the early release programs are not qualifying most violent offenders.The law is new and there are no cases to point to, but they define the "violent offender" in the language. An inmate will have to petition the court for a resentencing to even get considered for an early release. The sheer risk of having a violent crime happen by someone released on their watch is not going to get much of a chance with this law.

Yes, it is possible that a sentence may be served on the weekend only, not normally the other way around. This is in cases where the offense is not considered a threat to the community and the offender is placed in some sort of work release. Weekend furloughs are not the norm, though. If your wife is not coming home when you think she is supposed to, you have a whole other problem to worry about.

No, there are no cells in any federal prison camp. The inmates all live in an army-style barracks. It is all open in one big room with about 100 bunk beds lined up in rows separated by lockers. The bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms are attached.

Yes, the minimum security inmates have room to move around. There is a track and weight equipment. There are also many organized sports events and recreational activities to keep them busy. The low security means that the inmates are less likely to leave as they have short sentences and are close to the door. If they screw up, good time is taken away and they probably will do the balance of their time in a much more strict environment.

The home he is going to be living in will have to be visited and approved by the agency overseeing his probation. The home cannot have anything visible, or with a cursory search, items that might be in contravention with his release. This could include firearms, alcohol, drugs or pornography - or proximity to a school. Our advice is to speak with someone at their offices and get the rules and regulations for offender's re-entry so that you're not surprised

El CDCR no contiene una lista de las fechas de lanzamiento en su sitio web. Usted puede llamar al consejero en la planta, tienen el recluso's fecha de lanzamiento. Y, por supuesto, el recluso sabe exactamente cuando van a ser liberados

It starts with his original Judgement and Commitment Order received when he was sentenced. If parole is an option, the terms would be found in this document. If he is indeed set for a Parole Hearing in November, he will have been given a package of information, maybe requiring some written responses to questions. He would meet a Board that would assess whether they agree to let him back into society. They weigh the risks to the community with the
