For a juvenile sentenced to imprisonment or confinement, on what date does the law treat the sentence as completed after release on parole?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In the practice material we read the document showing the sentence and its length, the parole disposition and the date of release, and the record of how much time the juvenile had already served before parole. We also look for any record that the parole disposition was cancelled, and for the papers fixing the term and the long-term period that the proviso refers to.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading works from the main clause: where the juvenile was sentenced to imprisonment or confinement and released on parole, and the disposition has not been cancelled, the sentence is treated as completed once a period equal to the time served before parole has passed after release.
Another reading works from the proviso: if the term the proviso refers to, or the long-term period it refers to, passes first, the execution of the sentence ends at that point rather than when the equal period after release would run out.
Your judgment
On the dates shown in this file, does the equal period after release end first, or one of the two periods the proviso refers to?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change the equal period or the periods the proviso refers to, or if a record shows that the parole disposition was cancelled or that a different sentence length applies.
