# Functionality Of Parole

Last Updated - 28/09/25

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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://doj.secondliferp.com/legislation/doj-legislation/department-of-justice-public-legislation/general-conditions-of-parole/functionality-of-parole.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
