A close friend of the family got mixed up with drugs and never got off. He stole items from a grocery store and that was why he was put on parole. Just recently he was caught as an assessory to another retail theft. He is in jail now and I don't want to bother his mother with all the legal stuff. Any answers will be appreciated since I see him as a little brother and I couldn't help him stay off the drugs after countly times of different kinds of intervention.

he was on parole for the same crime. He robbed a grocery store and the items he took was alcohol. He only served six months but I don't know what his original term was. When he got out he was having trouble finding a halfway house to go to and the judge was alright with him living elsewhere because he got a job right away. As far as I know the crime he just commited was that he stole meat from jewel with a friend and was selling the meat in the parking lot and a customer seen it and went in and told management and he was arrested for being an assessory.

you go right to jail if you are on parole and you commit a crime.you can also go to jail for getting question for a crime that you might not even been envoled in,any envolvment with the police can get you thrown back in jail,it is at the discression of the parole officer.after being put back in jail they could be forced to finish there parole time in jail depending on what the parole officer recomends.they also can restart the whole sentence depending on the stipulations.they could also make them finish parole time then stay in jail and start doing time for the new charge.there are many other things that could happen but the things i have explained are the most common and more likley to happen but once again it is all dicression of what the parole officer recomends.

From what you describe it sounds like your friend may have been on probation. Parole is served as part of a jail sentence. Probation is served in lui of a jail sentence. Any further crimes when either on parole or probation is a violation of parole or probation and it is held against the person. Anything could happen now with prior convictions of theft.
It's not your fault your friend couldn't beat drugs, it is a very hard thing to beat and sometimes takes several intervention programs. Unfortunately he or she has to change for themselves to kick drugs.

Parole means, you do your sentence outside watching your every step and keeping you in line. Basically they give you a second chance, but if you commit a crime while on parole, they take you back without bail or a hearing, and finish the remainder of the sentence. Now if the merchandise he stole is worth more than 250 dollars, he could also get an extra charge for larceny, which means more time.

OK, the judge can revoke the parole and make him start jail from the beginning like he never got into parole besides the new charges for the new crime, The judge also can make send him to jail to finish the rest of it in jail besides the charges for the new crime or the judge can suspend the parole to make him go in jail to pay for both crimes simultaneously, but always doing for the longer term.

If you violate the parole, you go back to prison. It seems like he was on probation, not on parole. Parole is when you already have been in prison and got released earlier, before your projected release date, for good behavior; and then if you do something bad, you go back to prison to complete your term in full/
Your friend was on probation, not on parole. Because he had clearly violated his probation and now in jail, most likely he will get some time this time, or maybe he will have to go to drug treatment (at best). It all depends on his age and on his overall history. Right now he is awaiting his court date. Once he get sentenced, he will be transported from jail to another facility to do time or to get treatment.
He will be better off if he will insist that it is all because of the drugs and beg the court to send him to get treatment.

No doubt a condition of the parole was no more crimes. So, I expect his parole will be revoked and he will have to serve the time for the first crime. Then he will have to serve the time for the second crime.
Must have been some might good drugs for him to let it ruin his life that way.

If you violate parole you go back in the slam. Parole is like a probation after your release from prison. You are supposed to do time in a halfway house, and get work right away and if you don't back in jail. You may not have your terminology right. Probation is if you don't get jail/prison for primary offense. Parole is AFTER you do your time.

His parole can be revoked, in which case he would be returned to prison to finish serving his original sentence. Then, if he's convicted for the 2nd offense, the judge can rule that his sentence be served consecutively (after the original sentence is served) or concurrently (at the same time as his original sentence).

Likely, his parole will be revoked and the court will flatten or impose his sentence. He will do half of that time and come out a two-time felon with even less opportunities. Odds are he will soon turn back to drugs and inevitably to crime.

You get to serve the rest of your original sentence, maybe some extra if you're a really bad boy. One more criminal off the streets! Hooray for law & order!
