what exactally is"faint hope clause". Does it exsist in the Texas parole board system?

Answer 1

Faint hope is a Canadian law, so it does not exist in Texas. It states merely that prisoners serving the maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years may apply for early parole after serving 15 years.

It is called "faint hope" because there is not much hope that parole will be granted.
