How can a parolee in Connecticut modify the terms of special parole?
Normally, the terms of parole are defined by the Department of Corrections.
Special parole is part of the defendant's sentence, issued by the court in which the defendant was convicted of a crime. The court may require a period of special parole under the supervision of the parole board after the defendant has completed his or her maximum prison sentence. To modify special parole, the defendant would have to bring a motion with the trial court for modification of his or her sentence -- and for that, it would be highly advisable to discuss the full facts of the case with a criminal defense lawyer.
