Parole and Probation Suggestion

[HairTheDwarf]

I think it would be excellent and add another level to the criminal system if we added the possibility of parole and probation. For those serving lengthy sentences in Bolingbroke it would add an actual incentive for good behavior. If you are sentenced to a long stretch in Bolingbroke it can honestly be a drag and I know that's the point but the cleaning tables system is good for short sentences but for long ones it seems kinda pointless. It would also create additional positions, most likely in the Judiciary as there would have to be an Parole Board. The Parole board would basically function that after you serve about 500 hours in Bollingbroke you would be eligible to apply for Parole. It would then be up to a parole board to examine your behaviors in prison while looking at why you were sentenced to prison. The Parole board could either reject outright or approve your parole. When your parole is approved it would mean you have to be on probation. This would create a probation office of Los Santos, and honestly I think it would be possible for anyone who works in law enforcement or anyone who works in the Judiciary to be a parole officer. You would be assigned a specific probationary officer, who would give you tasks like get a job. Obey all laws. Do community service. (example of community service could be working with the Rangers to clean up parks and such.) However if your probationary officer finds you in violation of probation you would be sentenced and charged with a probation violation, which would add an additional length to your original sentence. After 3 violations of parole/probation you become ineligible for probation/parole and have to spend your entire sentence. Additionally with a probation system in place, it would also mean you could plea bargain and just get probation instead of actually going through the process of getting booked into Bolingbroke. This would help save time for police who have to transport whenever G6 isn't available and it would make it so you're not doing hard time for petty crime. It would add a level of realism to the Justice system and create a more in-depth Roleplay experience. For your consideration, all the Best

It is already part of this server. However only applicable to people who are willing to see the RP through and not taking the piss. And in some situations it is simply not possible. With CID cases that are longer going you have a relatively good chance to be able to go down that roleplay arch.

I think this is a case of: It sounds good on paper but in reality, it isn't.

Gotta agree with the above points.

I like the idea, but when you put it under a microscope the negatives quickly grow.

As Kate said, it is something that is already used alongside bail, releasing under investigation and no further actioning investigation, especially by CID, but a lot of it depends on the suspect willing to go the extra mile to help the RP and the case being long enough to warrant parole etc.

Still a good idea, just needs the kinks ironing out!
