ADMJ 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 19: Parole Parole
Document Summary
Alternative sentencing strategies in lieu of more traditional sanctions, including: Combination of brief period of imprisonment (usually jail) and probation. Example: 90 days in jail + 2 years supervised probation. Relatively short time in custody (usually prison) and released by court order to probation or by paroling authority to parole. Military-style boot camp prison settings; highly regimented environments. Primarily for young first offenders for short duration (90-180 days) Community service more adjunct to rather than type of correctional sentence. Compatible with other forms of innovation in probation and parole. Participate in treatment programs or community service while on. 5+ in person meetings with probation officer/week. Sentence imposed by court, offenders ordered to remain confined in own residences. Most may leave home only for work, medical emergencies, or to buy household essentials. Valuable alternative for offenders with special needs. Over half will return to prison within 3 years. Parole violators > prison admissions in some states.
