What does parole mean? does it mean subject to re-arrest at any time?

Question

Does it mean the length of the original sentence?

Answer 1

Still under the supervision of that states corrections. The person on Parole is out in the free world, but has conditions he or she must follow. If they violate any of these conditions, then it's up to He or She's parole officer to decide to send that person back for that violation.

Usually when on Parole you report to your field agent once a month. That person will take drug screening every now and then. They can be re-arrested if they violate any of the parole conditions, or commit any crimes.

Some have gone back to Prison just for calling the cops when an emergency happens. One guy did 5 years for calling the cops when his neighbor was beating up his girlfriend. His parole condition was no police contact. Now you know why Prisons are over filled. It's not always for violent offenders. Many times it's for small, stupid things, and the tax payers have to pay over $30,000 a year to house that inmate.

And the length of the original sentence means this. If you get sentenced to 5 - 15 years for armed robbery, and you do 10 years and get out on parole, that still means you have 5 years left on your sentence. So if you violate parole and go back to Prison you must do the remaining 5 years you have left before you get out.

Answer 2

Parole is the conditional and supervised release from prison, if a person violates the conditions set forth by the parole board then the person is subject to go back to prison and finish the remaining time of the origional sentence plus any new crime that person may have committed

Answer 3

According to dictionary.com, parole means "The release of a prisoner whose term has not expired on condition of sustained lawful behavior that is subject to regular monitoring by an officer of the law for a set period of time." But I have to agree with the first person that answered the question. If you are re-arrested for anything, you will go back to the pen.

Answer 4

Parole lets you out of jail for the remaining time of the original sentence. If you violate the terms of your parole, you go back to jail to finish your time there.

Terms of parole means the obvious- don't commit any new crimes, no contact with any known felons, and usually if it's drug related they will make you do mandatory drug testing and counseling. They will add a few additional conditions based on your circumstances, ie if it was a domestic violence assault no contact with the ex, that sort of thing.

Answer 5

It means they are serving the remainder of the sentence on parole. If they violate the parole they go back to prison to finish the time or sentence.

Answer 6

Parole, I believe, is given to prisoners based on good behavior. It could mean that they get certain priviledges back, or they can get out of jail. Usually there is a probationary period, though. If they screw up outside of prison, then they can get thrown back into prison.

I'm not certain how accurate this answer is, but I think it is pretty close.

Answer 7

Yes. One must abide by the terms of parole.

Answer 8

no, parole does not mean subject to re-arrest at any time.

Answer 9

parole means that you are on probation, but if you mess up, you are going back to the pen instead of getting your hand slapped.
