Georgia Supervised Release Program
Criminal Defense Lawyers, Augusta GA
Under the, parole refers to the supervised release of a convict before the completion of his/her jail sentence. The personprisoner released on parole is still considered to be serving the prison sentence, and may be returned to prison if he/she shows poor adjustment to society.
The judge can specify in a sentence the time that must be served before a person is eligible for parole. It is not necessary that there must be a provision for parole in every sentence. Life sentence without parole is also possible.
Many factors impact the decision to give or deny parole. In many states, just good conduct while incarcerated in and of itself will not necessarily guarantee parole. The other factors include the establishment of a permanent residence and immediate, gainful employment or some other clearly visible means of self-support upon release such as Social Security if the prisoner is old enough to qualify. The rules for parole differ from state to state. ———————————
