Question

Does parole work for crinimals?

Answer 1

Mostly, jail works. It will be the thing that scares the inmate into never doing it again, if it's a bad prison, or if the person was doing it as a first time offense and got caught. But then they get out on parole, and they're free. They need to see their parole officer every so often and if they skip, they are wanted. Simple.

Yet I don't think someone who gets out of jail thinks, "I'm on parole for another six months. I won't steal a car until then." Yes, it's true that being on parole means if you break it, you get a lot more if convicted but no one will think that way. It's mostly for the police to be able to convict you for more.

Answer 2

For me it did because no one is ever going to tell me to grab my ankles and cough so they could look up my butt hole!

Answer 3

For some it does for some it dosn't. You don't want to break your parole.

Answer 4

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) stated in 2005 that about 45% of parolees completed their sentences successfully, while 38% were returned to prison, and 11% absconded. These statistics, the DOJ says, are relatively unchanged since 1995;

The vast majority of prisoners in this country (about 80 percent) are released "conditionally," subject to a period of supervision in the community, often called "parole."1 Parole supervision is used as both a surveillance tool and a social service mechanism and ideally serves a deterrent role in preventing new crimes from occurring. Parole supervision can function as a surveillance tool by monitoring and sanctioning those who violate conditions of release, potentially averting more serious reoffending. Parole supervision can also act as a social service mechanism by using rules and incentives to engage ex-prisoners in positive activities, such as work and drug treatment, and to place ex-prisoners in programs that may help reentry transitions. While the focus of parole supervision has shifted more toward the surveillance function over the years,2 the number of people subject to it continues to grow. In 2003, over 774,000 adult men and women were under parole supervision in the United States,3 up from 197,000 in 1980.4
