Early release trials are chances for prisoners to tell their sides of the story and to converse their opinions in approval of parole. The resolution of a hearing is for the board to establish whether a prisoner can and would be resumed to the public, and when they could appear. The board assesses if the importance of the prisoner's crime or the effectiveness and strictness of previous convictions imposes a longer imprisonment period to defend the welfare and protection of the community. …show more content…
The prisoner's discharge would not reduce the importance of the original crime or endorse public lack of respect for the law and justice system. The prisoner's discharge does not endanger public well-being and safety. Prisoner’s doing a period of controlled discharge should meet every so often with their parole officer and obey a set of rules. If the prisoner decides to not follow the rules it can result in parole overturning, which could mean the discharged goes back to penitentiary. Parole and probation are comparable in different ways, they both involve management of an agent who can work with prisoners to get them back on the right

    In order to conduct a comparison between two probation agencies, my first instincts was to choose two agencies that were opposite of each other on the United States map. The two agencies that I chose were the Parole and Probation Division in Salem, OR and the Parole and Probation Division in Jefferson City, MO. At first glance it appeared as though the agency in Salem, OR provided and implemented very little resources to its parolees that would reduce the risk of recidivism and promote offender change. However, as I began to perform additional research on both agencies, I not only noticed that Salem, OR had sufficient programs but most of their programs were similar to those of Jefferson City, MO. The similarities between the two divisions…

    He also knew it needed a change, particularly the probation program. Parole is conditional release from prison, granted to inmates who have already served part of their sentence. Probation is an alternative to prison time, offered by the court during sentencing. So rather than doing hard time in a cell, the guilty party remains free - with certain stipulations. They vary by jurisdiction, but typically include paying a restitution fee, reporting to a probation officer, refraining from alcohol, being subject to drug tests and staying within geographic areas.…

    There are over two million inmates in our nation’s prison system and sentencing has always been a reflection of the current sentiments of society. Before the introduction of determinate sentencing in the early eighties, the States followed an indeterminate sentencing model. It was the pressure from society to have the “punishment fit the crime” that caused our justice system to make changes in their sentencing guidelines. With these changes came mandatory minimums, when most prisoners were serving only a portion of their sentences, and the introduction to the determinate model. We will compare these two models of sentencing and the effects it has on our justice system as a whole.…

    Discretionary parole is the parole that is determined by the paroling authority such as the common parole board or the commissions after a case reviewing with the determination that the inmate can rejoin the community (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). On the other hand, a mandatory parole is set by law and requires the state to grant parole when an inmate serves a set period. The main argument for discretionary release is that it provides the prisoners with an incentive to change their ways for the better due to the promise of a reward if they comply. On the other hand, the mandatory parole is argued to be better because it cannot be “gamed” where a prisoner simply acts as if they have changed their ways just to be granted the discretionary parole.…
