What is the name of your state? TN


Will they stay in county or go to state prison for the parole violation? How many years would they get?

Someone I knew has been on parole but received a parole violation, and have have driving violations including speeding away from an officer. It says they are in county jail. They have a past vandalism charge as well for over $6000 in property damage. A city cop had arrested them on a parole violation.

The dude I once knew never resorted to this erratic behavior in the past. His mom recently died and she was a very religious person. Sadly he met a nice girl and had a kid with her. She has a job. And he never worked and had a bank account with his parents. I'm guessing he had maybe bankruptcy issues or was bad with holding money on his own. I became his friend and later was learning creeping things about him. Like he was worried about little children around him and bring accused of sex crimes, etc. He also had me be a scapegoat for his nudity films he rented and told his parents they were my videos. Eventually I had my relative confront his mom about his nudity obsessions. I did break my friendship off with him years ago. He always laughed at people going to prison.

He’s probably not laughing now.

Best decision you've ever made. Or at least one of the best.

Lay with dogs, get fleas - positively Biblical. If you're allergic to fleas, it's worth avoiding.

I appreciate your schadenfreude.

Answer to first question: it depends.
Answer to second question: not enough.

Here is a link to Tennessee’s regulations on parole proceedings that can lead to revocation of an individual’s parole:

https://casetext.com/regulation/tennessee-administrative-code/title-1100-board-of-paroles/chapter-1100-01-01-conduct-of-parole-proceedings/section-1100-01-01-14-revocation-of-parole

Your friend faces going back to prison to serve out his remaining time.
He get what he get. Sounds like maybe a few years and no parole for him. He can keep the fleas

In Tennessee, there is a chance that for parole violation, depending what he's on parole for, he might be spending his time in a county jail, where many non-violent prison sentenced offenders end up. They have contracts with the prison system if they have any vacant space, they take in these people for extra funds. Depends a lot on where he is in the state.

But if he does get prison, it will be a thoroughly punishing experience, one that he probably doesn't deserve. Because we have what used to be "Corrections Corporation of America" and later changed its name due to horrible publicity to Core Civic. Our wonderful private prison system. Hear they're going to be the ones dealing with immigrants and at Guantanamo.

During Lamar Alexander's administration, over forty years ago, with his wife as a major stock holder, we privatized a lot of our prison system in this state. This created great wealth for the stockholders, the loss of thousands of fairly good secure blue collar jobs with benefits, and an incredible hellish situation. In their effort to cut expenses, they have always skimped on guard wages, training and benefits, which resulted in a very high turnover rate and about a 50% deficit in staffing of these facilities at present. And cutting food, medical care and housing to the barest legal minimals have resulted in many deaths. And bunches of lawsuits of course. Maybe if he has a horrible experience in one of our prisons, your friend will live to file one.

But you should back far far away from this whole situaton. This does not sound like a nice person to get involved with, and bad friends bring bad luck.

I don't consider him a friend. I tried to reach out on his Facebook once way before they became career criminal.

I just hope I never run into them or their family, etc. I don't recall him ever being into criminal acts when I lived there in East Tennessee. They lived in Sevier County. I'm not sure why they did what they did. Just kind of shocked they went down that road in life. They seemed to have good parents and a wealthy brother in law that dates his niece. Hopefully their niece will not become like him.

It is difficult to guess at why people do what they do.

I am glad he is not your friend.
