My husband was detained for violating parole and then escaped jail in Alabama. How much time could he be facing. He was originally given 15 years and did six and made parole

Kiss parole goodbye.most likely... he's going to have to serve the remainder of his entire original sentence... (kiss the time he was on parole good-bye)... on top of the new charges which will be tacked on... and the additional time for those.

He's going to be in there a good long time.

When you say he escaped, do you mean he was in jail, and broke out of jail, or did he "escape" his parole?

Either way, he'll at the very least be made to serve out the remainder of his sentence, and he'll likely have to serve more time for additional charges because of this.

You need to define "escape" better, that will make a difference.

If he was in custody, in a detention center and ran away, he is looking at most likely at least 7 years for that. Unless he turns his self in. it may go to about half of that if he turns his self in.

After that, he will have to deal with the parole violation, for the reason he was detained and for this, his parole on the 15 years will be revoked for sure on this ( my opinion anyway)

So realisticly he will do about 4 to 10 years before he gets to parole again

Hello again, smoothy:

(kiss the time he was on parole good-bye)I've told you before, that's NOT true. A release date CANNOT be changed...

A person on probation is serving a suspended sentence on the streets... Upon a violation, the ENTIRE suspended sentence CAN be re-instituted, causing ALL the time on the street to be lost..

However, when a person is paroled, he's doing his actual sentence on the street, and his release date CANNOT be changed without new charges.
