What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how much time my husband is looking at for abscounding parole. He left California 3 years ago after he got out of prison, he has not gotten in to any trouble but got picked up whe his name was ran, in Washington state. :confused:

A: Give me the statute number of what he was convicted for originally and also the amount of time he had left on his probation.

The absconding, of course, will also be a criminal charge and the time for that will start running after he finishes his first sentence.

That's my guess for now.

The maximum time that he can get is one year on a parole violation. They might make him an offer for less than a year if absconding is the only violation.

Seniorjudge: California has determinate sentencing, meaning every crime carries a determinate sentence, which the defendant must serve in full (minus credits), after which he is subject to a mandatory parole period of 3 years (5 years for sex offenses.) If the defendant violates parole, he can be returned to custody for a maximum of one year. Murder and a few other crimes carry indeterminate terms, and for those offenses the parole board decides when they get out, and when they do they are on parole for life.
