Parole Violation Bail Bonds CT
When a prisoner is released from prison on parole, they will often be required to have a parole bond. As with bail in standard charges, parole bonds ensure that the prisoner out on bond will continue to follow all defined requirements from the individual’s prison sentence. If you can get out on parole, you must abide by all set terms, and breaking those terms can result in further criminal charges and or an increased sentence.
Before granting parole, the judge overlooking your case will take into consideration a wide range of factors. Generally speaking, prisoners who have displayed good behavior will be considered for parole if their original crime was not violent or a felony.
Parole bonds are often set at a substantial sum given the increased risk posed by an already convicted offender. A judge will determine whether the individual in question is likely to appear in court at a future time, is not a significant threat to themselves or the surrounding community, and is unlikely to commit any future crimes. Depending on your case, the judge may impose additional requirements to help ensure that you will not be a risk moving forward.
When granting parole, a judge will look at the original crime in question, evidence gathered during the initial arrest, and more. Though many defendants can abide by their parole conditions without issue, there are cases in which the individual might find him or herself violating parole.
