Functionality Of Parole

LAST UPDATED - 11/09/24

In San Andreas, Parole has multiple functions, First it is a reflection of a portion of the sentence that an individual receives for a given crime. It is also a tool to encourage citizens to reform their behavior in exchange for less prison time overall.

Typically when sentenced by an officer for a crime, this parole sentence is twice the length of the incarceration period. This is due to the fact that the parole runs parallel to the incarceration period.

• For example if someone is sentenced to 30 months and their Parole is 60 months, by the time they get out of jail, they will have a maximum of 30 months remaining on Parole.

For sentences issued in court, Parole functions slightly differently; in these situations the parole portion of the sentence does not begin until the person has served their period of incarceration.

• For example if someone is sentenced to 50 Months and 50 Months of parole, their Parole starts the moment they are released, not when they are incarcerated.

In both cases when someone violates their parole, they will be sent back to Bolingbrooke for the remainder of their parole sentence.

• For example if someone is sentenced to 20 months of Parole and a violation is used by the Courts after 5 months of Parole they will serve 15 months in Bolingbrook.
