"Less Is More Act" Eliminates Incarceration for Parole Violations

[Disir]

Emily NaPier Singletary and her husband Derek are founders and co-directors of the Syracuse-based group "Unchained," which was founded on the fundamental belief that people who have lived through the criminal justice system know what’s wrong with it.

The couple consider themselves to be experts in this particular topic: Derek Singletary is currently in prison for manslaughter.

One of the issues that "Unchained" wants to address during this legislative session is parole reform.

According to Emily, almost 40% of people incarcerated in state prisons are there because of technical violations of parole, which are not laws. She and her husband are supportive of a bill that many Democrats in the legislature are coalescing around called the "Less is More Act."

"The ‘Less is More Act’ that we helped draft, focuses on parole violations and the length of parole," Singletary explained. "Right now, people are given a list of conditions they have to meet: Curfew, no alcohol or drugs, etc. If people break any of those rules, even though they are not crimes, they can be returned to prison immediately."

Ok. Then increase the actual time served. Bam. Just like that.

It's a condition of release? No condition? No release.

They don't like the conditions they're free to stay where they're at until time is served.

Some can lie under oath and not go to prison while others go to prison for not making it home by 10.

Typically not sending someone back to prison with one violation. But, that is a very nice try. Additionally, doing what is humanly possible not to have to send them back.

And some not at all.

I cannot speak for other states, but in Idaho technical violations of parole are met with 30,60,90 days tier of county jail time..served on weekends if parolee has a job.
Most Parole officers go out of their way..to not violate on BS.

Fuck up enough though..and you will go back to prison.

Parole is how inmates are managed in the system..give them something they value to lose..and they are more apt NOT to stab you with a knife.

That's what tvs are for and cadillac coffee. Obviously they don't know what parole is. They think it's another entitlement.
