Parole Vs Parole
After a verdict has been passed down, and the judge establishes the sentence, the individual will enter the next step in the criminal justice process: imprisonment. In the case of a murder conviction, the person will be placed in a state prison or other detention facility fit to house criminals of this nature.
Parole
It was important to explain to the client that depending in the verdict passed down in this case, he may be eligible at some point for parole. Parole serves as a form of release from incarceration for prisoners prior to completing their maximum sentence. For example, an individual sentenced to a maximum of twenty-five years, may be paroled and released after fifteen years. There are many factors that go into a parole boards
decision to grant parole to inmates. They may be forced to undergo a psychiatric exam, find a permanent residence, and find meaningful employment. If parole is granted the prisoner agrees to terms and conditions set forth by the parole board, and they must follow and abide by the rules, or face stiff ramifications. Individuals may be required to meet periodically with parole officers, refrain from illegal activities, and other aspect. Parole serves as a type of test to see if a prisoner has what it takes to be introduced back into society as a functioning and responsible person.
Discharge
The last step in the criminal justice process is discharge. This is the final release from criminal justice control and or supervision. Some individuals serve a full-term sentence, and others receive early release based on underlying factors. There are steps to receive discharge early such as good behavior, overcrowding, and in some cases as discuss previously; parole. When a prisoner is discharged the individual once again becomes a free member of society. Although they may be free from imprisonment, the effects of being convicted, in this case of a murder, can follow and disrupt a person life for many years. A conviction of murder, which is a felony, will disqualify persons from entering certain occupations, and can eventually lead to “civil death’, where the individual has zero rights when it comes to entering contracts, such as marriage contracts, the right to borrow money, hold public officer, or vote. The entire criminal justice process is long, and trying, and it is imperative that the client be aware, that the ramifications of a murder conviction can and will alter their life for years to come.
