...Parole and Mandatory Release By: Eleanore Krzeminski CJS/230 Janette Nichols Parole has many different meanings to others. The word parole is the release of an inmate with certain conditions that the offender checks in when supposed to and follows all the rules until the time has been done. An inmate is released when the parole board sees a certain amount of rehabilitation and when the board no longer sees the inmate as a threat to society. Mandatory release is when the inmate has had enough good behavior before he/she is due for release of prison. According to the research that I have done to the current parole and mandatory release policies things have been confusing. From what I understand the current policy is that an inmate is to serve at least three months of his/her sentence before eligible for mandatory release. A person who is eligible for parole must serve a sentence of at least six months upon release. For a better solution in the parole process I think that parole should be based on the crime in which was committed. When you have inmates that go to prison for murder they have the hope that in so many years they will be eligible for parole. Parole should be for those who get sentenced to prison one time. When you have more and more offenders that go to prison four to five times and yet still seemed to get paroled out within a certain amount of time. References: Illinois Department of Corrections...

... University of Phoenix: CJS 230 University of Phoenix: CJS 230 Parole and Manadatory Release Checkpoint Week 8 Parole and Manadatory Release Checkpoint Week 8 “Parole is the release of an inmate, prior to the expiration of the inmate’s court-imposed sentence, with a period of supervision to be successfully completed by compliance with the conditions and terms of the release agreement ordered by the Commission.” (Commission, 2004) Once a prisoner is getting close to the end of their sentence they can be paroled, but do not necessarily qualify. If they are released they are closely watched and if they violate any conditions to their parole they can simply be thrown right back into jail by the Commission. (Commission, 2004) Mandatory release is a date that is set when parole is denied. They calculate it by how much good time the offender is entitled to and how much “extra” good time is earned. If they are on mandatory release they are to treat it just like parole and the felons need to realize that it can be revoked and a warrant can be issued out for their arrest. (United States Department of Justice) Parole and mandatory release differs due to the fact that they cannot deny mandatory release. The prison has to release you if a certain amount of days are served, and parole can be denied at the hearing for the inmate. Parole you also have to be qualified, where mandatory release you do not. The current inmates who have committed a capitol felony murder prior to May...

...Parole and Mandatory Release Parole is the temporary release of a prisoner for a special reason or the permanent release of an individual with the promise of good behavior until the time of trial. On the other hand mandatory release is the release from an institution required by statute when an individual has been confined for a period equal to his or her full sentence minus statutory "good time," if any. Some examples of the current parole policies are obey all laws and ordinances report in person to the parole officer, notify the parole officer immediately after any arrest, and obtain approval of the parole officer: For any change in resident or employment location before leaving the state, do not own or possess any firearm, do not own or possess any weapon, refrain from the use, possession, or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, make payment for court imposed penalties, refrain from behavior that results in the issuance of a final restraining order. These policies allow the court to keep an individual within strict behavior limits or they will be placed back into jail until their trials. I then sat here and thought about ways to approve the parole system and after spending half an hour thinking alone and then attempting to further have a conversation with my fiancée about possible improvements I have come to the conclusion that while there are many ideas no one them are honestly logical or would end up being ultimately successful. I first thought of specialized...

...Parole Parole is when someone is released after serving part of his or her sentence under the supervision of the parolee’s community. According to the United States Department of Justice, parole may be granted if the “inmate has substantially observed the rules of the institution; release would not depreciate the seriousness of the offense or promote disrespect for the law; and release would not jeopardize the public welfare (United States Department of Justice, 2012, p. 1). Mandatory Release According to Foster, a mandatory release date is determined by “a simple mathematical computation: full term less good-time credits earned equals release date” (Foster, 2006, p. 416). The main difference between parole and mandatory release or parole is that, standards for mandatory release vary by the crime, class of offender, and by the state the criminal is serving time in. Criminals will also have to serve at least 85% of his or her time in order to reach the mandatory release. Release Policies In order to be paroled, the inmate must show the parole board that he or she has been rehabilitated and is no longer a threat to society. For a mandatory release, the inmate must serve at least 85% of his or her sentence before being released. To be qualified for parole, the inmate must serve at least six months before starting the parole process. Better Solution It is in my opinion that a better solution for the parole process is to base it off the crime that was...

...Prison: Parole and Mandatory Release Name Class April 8, 2013 Teacher Checkpoint: What is parole? How does parole differ from mandatory release? Describe current parole and mandatory release policies. Is there a better solution to the process? Parole is a system of release for prisoners within the prison system and was “created as a reaction against the penitentiary and the determinate sentence” (Foster, 2006). There are three specific methods of release under the parole system – discretionary, mandatory, and medical. These parole methods provide early for inmates through parole board review (discretionary), good time credits (mandatory), or due to a severe medical condition (medical). Originally, the most common form of parole was discretionary parole which was conducted under individual inmate review conducted by a parole board. The decision for release was contingent upon board approval and was a conditional release in which a parolee must follow certain guidelines upon release or be returned to prison to serve his/her full term through parole revocation. This method was replaced by a system of mandatory release due to perceptions of bias by parole board members, ineffectual reformation through parole, and social outcry for early release based on discretion and not court mandate. Mandatory release requires that an inmate serves eighty-five percent of his/her sentence prior to release eligibility. The inmate earns ‘good time’ credits through...

Service Management Team From: Date: August 1, 2012 Re: Talking Points for Customer Inquires CC: Executive Leadership Team As you all know, ‘Game Wars – Journey to Mars’ is scheduled to release in November, 2012. Over the past two years, developers have been working day and night to create the latest edition to the series. On June 1, 2012 beta testing began and game reviewers began to share their findings with the public via a variety of social outlets creating a buzz in the gaming community. Marketing campaigns to promote the holiday release began in July 1, 2012. Pre-orders were made available on July 15, 2012 which quickly began to threaten supply versus demand. On July 17, 2012, a bug was detected in the game that dramatically impacts the quality of game play. As a result, Chief Executive Officer, Walter Goodwyn hired a team of consultants to dissect the issue and determine the best course of action.

...three and a half years down to two. While testing the Pinto, it became apparent that due to the gas tank in the car was at great risk for fire hazard when struck from the rear, even at low speeds. The necessary improvements to make the Pinto safer were not complex or costly; they simply needed a barrier between the gas tank and the bumper of the car, which meant an added $5 to $8 to produce each car. To prevent the gas tank leaking during rollovers, another $11 would have to be spent on production. Ford was presented with a dilemma: to release the Pinto as scheduled and risk the safety of those who purchased it or spend more time designing the car, thereby seceding more of the subcompact auto market to the competition. After a cost-benefit analysis of the safety improvements and the potential death toll, Ford decided to release the model without the safety improvements. Their estimation showed that it was cheaper to ignore public safety. The release of the Pinto lead to an estimated 21 to 475 deaths that could have been prevented if the necessary safety features had been installed. Act utilitarianism is part of the utilitarian theory, one of the most widely accepted ethical...

...Social Media i Pop Culture Eric Richardson English Composition Ashley Inguanta August 27, 2012 My absolute favorite musical album is D’Angelo’s album entitled Voodoo, released in 2000. As a musician and vocalist myself, I’d say that I’m usually a bit more critical of music projects than I would be of any other form of art. It’s usually an easy task for me to appreciate the creativity of other art forms because I don’t have any type of bias. With music, however, it has been my lifelong passion. Since I was a child, I’ve been a student and a fan. As a fan, I’ve always looked for an album that could hold my interest throughout the entire list of tracks. I think even the most casual listener wants the best album possible. I can’t imagine anyone would want to spend their hard earned money on a mediocre album, with only a few songs standing out as favorites. Unfortunately, this has likely been the case since the Eight Track Tape was phased out. There was no rewind or fast forward option, so the albums simply had to be good. It’s a lot harder found what I’d consider a good album, present day. In my opinion, a good album evokes just as much emotion as it does provoke those and give the desire to dance, particularly when speaking of R&B and Soul genres. By these standards, most albums fail. Most albums have one ore the other, but very seldom have all of these characteristics. D’Angelo’s Voodoo was a progressive work that had a retro feel. I think what...

The bands next single ‘hang you up’ could easily set the band up for mainstream success, with its acoustic built track it really is hard not to get stuck into this song. The crowd come together and appreciate Yellowcard’s last single ‘For you and your denial’ which goes down a storm with the crowd. Not forgetting older material, Yellowcard perform some of their better known songs from their 2006 release including ‘Lights and Sound’ and ‘Rough Landing, Holly’.
