Is there a new law that has passed that will allow federal offenders to be paroled early due to good behavior?

No.  Federal parole is practically nonexistent.

this is not necessarily correct. It depends on their sentence most of the time, good behavior is nowadays rarely considered...if in NY\n\nJohn Jay College may have some links or the legal aid society.

My opinion is that if people r put in prison, some may just come of with an even worse attitude than they had when they went in. Look at recidivism rates.......

It depends on whether they are convicted in the State or Federal, thankful in America we have a system of appeals, in if the appeal is Warranted, the sentence can be modified

only by stiffer penalty's,let the time fit the crime and  give them no probation and if its a elected official, they must give up their retirement benefits.... being hard on them wont be easy and in some peoples eyes, it may not be fair... but who ever said fighting corruption was easy....or fair?? you fight fire with fire.....

It helps to spell parole and pardon correctly.

There are several in the Little Rock area that I am aware of, but funding is tight so they change every few years.  I had a friend in one in West Central Little Rock, but I am not sure of the name.  Contact the parole department and they can probably help you (Blue pages).  If the parolee does not have a place to parole to, they will probably force him (or her) to go into a halfway house anyway rather than keep them locked up.  I hope this helps, I have a lot of friends in the ADC and have been through this before.  Good Luck!

That would be STATUTE of limitations, which has nothing to do with probation or parole.  Please restate your question.

Are you a parolee? Federal or State? Anyway, I can only offer you a link to a support site where you can ask your question of people who are in your shoes http://www.prisontalk.com\nIf you are not the parolee, perhaps want action to prevent a parole, then run a search for "victims rights" or "victim assistance", even if you're not the victim, you'll find more information that way.\nAnd, just so you can get better results when you search, it is spelled "Procedures".

If you do behave then you have a possiblity of of getting off early. Also if you maybe do volunteer work that'd look really good. Talk to your probation officer, don't make it seem like you're just trying to get off early, ask them about volunteering and all that. it'll look good and you'll be on their good side. Don't lie to them, just be honest. Thats what i did and it worked for me! I haven't been on probation in years! Probation is hard to get off early any other way

Most don't work due to a reward system for participation that is aimed at the wrong behaviors.  Sentences are reduced and parole eligibility dates are moved up based on PARTICIPATION and not on actual learning.  An inmate can participate in the same drug program several times and receive "comp" time for each instance.  Just the fact that the inmate took the same program several times indicates that he didn't really learn anything or adjuct his behavior but he is rewarded every time he takes it anyway.  As far as being "punished" after release, I haven't seen that as a major problem.  The fact that behaviors didn't change is responsible for a lack of employability and for recividism.  Many drug dealers see incarcaration as a cost of doing business and go along with the program until they are released only to return to dealing.  Prisons are not overly concerned with rehabilitation.  Most programs are started with the goal of attracting federal funds for the prison system, not changing inmates.

Go to the state's website and find the department of corrections. That should give you some of the information. Not sure of the parole status..................

You must first understand the difference in Parole vs. Probation. Probation is that period of time that someone is actually given a "2nd Chance". For example a first offender who is sentenced to jail/prison time, the sentence is suspended, and he/she is placed on probation.  A violation of the probation rules, as imposed by the judge or by law can have the offender incarcerated for the remaining portion of his sentence. Parole, on the other hand is granted to someone that has spent a portion of his sentence in jail/prison and under the guidelines of the state he was convicted in, has "earned" his or her parole (for example for good behavior while in jail.) When someone is Paroled they must also follow certain laws and guidelines as outlined in their parole agreement. They are not allowed to associate with known criminals, engage in criminal activity, must agree to meet with their Parole Officers, etc.  A parole violation can be used to re-incarcerate the violater following the appropriate hearings in a Court of Law.

Yes, since 1994.  However, like most states with 3-strikes laws, it is probably largely ignored in sentencing.

they let potential scumbags out of jail

Parole is an interim step between being in jail and being free.  Our system allows for folks to get out of jail but they must check in with authorities on a regular basis and if they get arrested or break any of the rules of their parole they go back to jail often times.  If they do not break parole for the specified amount of time, they are allowed to rejoin society.

This is an excellent idea and i myself would vote for it in a heartbeat, being in law enforcement, I daily see these undesirables, not the ones who want to get a better life, the bad one, the thieves, rapist, burglars and such come back within 24 hours of being deported, ugh!!!!
