How long will I be on federal parole?
You will be on parole and under the supervision of a U.S. Probation Officer until the maximum expiration date of the sentence (for offenses committed before April 11, 1987), unless the Commission ends your supervision earlier.
!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your time on federal parole runs at the same time as any other Federal, State, or local sentence to supervision.[1034]
- IF YOUR SUPERVISION IS ENDED EARLY: You will be given a Certificate of Early Termination, which may also be provided to other supervising agencies.[1035]
- IF YOU ARE NOT RELEASED TO PAROLE, AND INSTEAD YOU ARE MANDATORILY RELEASED: Your supervision by a U.S. Probation Officer automatically ends 180 days before the maximum expiration date, unless the USPC ends supervision earlier. If your supervision is ended early, you will be given a Certificate of Early Termination.[1036] You have been mandatorily released if you reached the end of the sentence imposed by the court minus any “good time” deductions you earned during the time of your confinement.[1037]
What is a
“GOOD RISK DETERMINATION”?
It is VERY difficult to have a “very good risk” determination for the SFS. This is because the score sheet is written to be nearly impossible for someone to every have that good of a score. To have a VG (Very Good) you have to have 10 -8 SFS, which is very hard given that you lose a point just for being on parole. The scorecard is very “stacked” against the parolee. not.
