Moving to Colorado

[graniet]

My jurisdiction is: USA

If a Parolee moves from the state of California to Colorado, would his probation period be the same in Colorado as it would be in California? Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

Will they let you move?

Yeah. I don't think you can leave the state if you are under parole. Assuming you get that permission and some degree of supervision is part of your parole be aware that Colorado has almost bankrupted its citizens with its funding of the DOC (Dept of Corrections). They are constantly building prisons. A minor (administrative) violation (like not showing up for an appt on time) can send you into the cross bar motel.
CO has close to 24,000 people behind bars, pays for guards, food, new const., etc.

If you can drive it helps alot. Public transportation will pretty much burn up an entire workday just to attend a meeting for 20 minutes. Parole officers are pretty arrogant.
I was a Parolee Sponsor and they wanted me to sign off on what was a waiver of constitional rights but not labeled as such. I could not have any security system particularly video cameras. I went to the Governor but got little action.

If you have a job in CO (necessary if a parolee from here), can pay for UA's, pay for meetings with DOC people, miss work for UA's and the meetings, and have a good support system to keep you out of bars, drug use, associates with felons, etc. you might have a chance. Work hard and stay out of trouble. Thor

Yeah, I have done good on parole for over 2 1/2 years. They do nothing but try to hinder you from succeeding. I am going to college, have a 4.0 gpa, do volunteer work. It doesn't matter. She talks to me like am a 2 bit loser criminal and tries to keep me from doing what I need to do. I am Englewood, I am so frustrated and tired of it, I am seriously thinking about having her just send me back for my remaining time to be done with it. It would be a year and it would ruin my college loans and funding, not to mention the math I've learned so far. I just feel so trapped and I can't do anything right by them.

It's hard and it takes awhile but you can transfer states. You'll still be doing parole under your own state guidelines and just be kind of overseen by these people. I don't know if you want to be in Colorado though, trust me, they can send you back for looking at them wrong if they want to.
