Choose Case Study 3.A, 3.B,
or 3.C.
Various systems are used
to make release decisions about incarcerated offenders. In states in which
sentences are indeterminate, a paroling authority often must make a decision to
release an offender and decide when that release should occur. Sentencing laws
might determine when an offender is eligible for release, but he or she is not
granted a release until a parole authority approves.
In the following cases, a
paroling authority must determine whether to release an offender to a
community. Factors considered often involve probability of recidivism, victim
impact, community impact, conduct of offender in an institution, and release
plan offered. Consider these cases and determine whether an offender’s release
has merit.
