Yes, the pending revocation in another county can absolutely affect whether she paroles home.

Right now she has:

  • 30 month sentence from one revocation
  • Another open or pending revocation somewhere else

That second case is the issue.

What usually happens in this situation:

1. The other county can place a hold (detainer)

  • When she gets close to release or parole
  • She may not go home
  • She can be transferred to that county to deal with the other revocation

2. Parole may be delayed or denied

  • Parole boards look at all pending cases
  • An unresolved violation makes her look like a higher risk
  • They may wait until everything is resolved before releasing her

3. She could end up serving more time

  • If the second county revokes her as well
  • That time could be added or run consecutive depending on the judge

About good time and revocations:

  • Revocations often reduce or eliminate good time credits
  • Judges tend to make violators serve a larger portion of their sentence

Best case scenario:

  • The other county resolves the case quickly
  • Time runs concurrent
  • She still becomes eligible for parole

Worst case scenario:

  • She is transferred and held on the second revocation
  • Additional time is added
  • Parole is delayed

Bottom line
She may be eligible for parole on the 30 month sentence, but she likely will not go straight home if that other county has a hold on her. That second revocation has to be resolved first before she is truly clear to be released.
