Is the Release Date Final After a Parole Violation?

My boyfriend just got Friday. You back there for a parole violation so they gave him to his release date which is January 25th 2017 but my question is if he's good he might get out and December or when they say on his release date

No. When someone is revoked back to custody for a parole violation, the system makes clear that this is the consequence for breaking the conditions they were given. The release date they hand down is the date. Good behavior is expected at that point, not rewarded with early release on top of the revocation.

Parole violations are taken seriously precisely because the person already had the benefit of being out. Going back in for it is a direct consequence of not honoring that. The January 25 date is what it is.

The more useful question to sit with is what is going to be different this time when he walks out. Parole violations that result in revocations are not always one-time stumbles. Sometimes they are part of a pattern. Making sure there is a real plan in place for when he is released, stable housing, employment or a path to it, and distance from whatever caused the violation, is what actually matters at this point.
