    Committing a New Offense While on Special Parole
    A woman in Connecticut was on special parole when she was caught shoplifting, and the store is pressing charges for trespassing and larceny. She has not yet told her parole officer about the charge. What is likely to happen?

    Re: Committing a New Offense While on Special Parole
    In Connecticut, special parole is part of the sentence that a judge may impose after a defendant is convicted of a crime. If imposed, special parole occurs under parole supervision after the offender completes her maximum prison sentence. A violation may result in the continuation of special parole as originally imposed, the continuation of special parole with additional conditions, or the revocation of special parole.

    If the Board or Pardons and Paroles revokes a defendant's special parole, the board chairman can order that the parolee be committed to prison for any period of time up to the amount of the unexpired portion of the special parole sentence.

    She should speak with a criminal defense lawyer.
