    What is parole? Parole is an early release from imprisonment confinement. Parole allows the defendant a second chance at reentering the community. Parolee’s are usually granted by statutes, and these provisions vary from state to state. Before a defendant is granted release for parole they will have to appear in front of the parole board. The parole board is who actually decides when an incarcerated offender is ready to be released back into the community. Defendants are usually eligible to see the parole board once he or she has completed a percentage of their sentence in correctional confinement. When going to the parole board the defendant’s case is looked into to monitor their behavior and other special considerations.

    Indeterminate Sentencing

    The sentence imposed typically included incarceration, probation, and fines. Under this scheme, a judge typically will impose a sentencing range rather than a specific time, allowing a parole board to decide when to release the offender. An example of this is when an offender is convicted of homicide and is sentenced to twenty-five years to life. The offender understands that he or she will spend the minimum time of twenty-five years incarcerated but may be required to serve a sentence of up to a maximum of life. The actual amount of time spent after the twenty-five years will depend on the conduct and success in the rehabilitative process of the offender during his or her time…
