Here is the situation. My brother was released on parole. A year after being released he was arrested again and they put him in jail we paid the bond and then they threw a parole hold on him. He has been in jail now for a year and 4 months, they have not violated his parole or charged him with any new charges. He has not been arraigned on anything. They are just holding him in jail and the only reason they give is a parole hold. So how long are they allowd to hold him and are they violating his rights? He is in prison in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Based solely on what you have written, I would say that they are violatiing his rights. Technically, a person on parole is still in the custody of the Dept of Corrections, and can be held on a parole hold. However, he is entitled to a hearing before either a circuit judge (new charge) or an administrative law judge (parole revocation). I certainly would never hold someone past 72 hours without either a court appearance or service of a parole violation notice. I would strongly encourage you to contact an attorney. If you can't afford one, try legal aid, or find someone who will give a free consultation.
Good Luck.

because attempting them like you state can be a contravention of global regulation. the rules that follow to them are: 1949 Geneva Conventions (IV) and Hague 1907. As a belligerent celebration we've the right to carry persons captured on the battlefield throughout hostilities. trivialities note: The 2004 college massacre in Russia replaced into prepared by technique of someone we released from Gitmo. what percentage danger free human beings's blood do you want on your palms because we released a terrorist to kill again?

They can hold him til his original amount of time runs out. Be happy they didn't send him right back to prison.
