    Default Up For Parole and Wanting to Move to Another State

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: PA

    My niece is serving a 1 year prison sentence for Driving on a suspended license and accidently hitting a woman who died (not guilty for vehicle homicide). The accident took place when living in PA less than a year, and her prison time is in a PA prison, however her children and family moved back to NC, where she is originally from.

    Her question is...when up for parole, can she be paroled to the state of NC with her children (young) and family, or does she have to be paroled to the city of PA, where she was residing when the accident occurred?

    Thank you.

    It depends on where her release address is at. Meaning if her release address that is on record is for NC. Then I see no reason why she would not be able to be paroled to NC. This is something she needs to talk to her counselor or case worker about though. If her realease address on record is in PA then that is where she will be released to. Then she will have to deal with her PO to get everything changed. She is much better off to do this while in Prison. I say this because she access to her case worker 8 hours a day monday through friday.

    In order to be paroled to another state, her parole would have to be transferred to another state. Pennsylvania does not have parole officers in North Carolina, so she can't automatically serve her parole in North Carolina. She will have to work this out with her parole officer, and see what they permit. As bigcountrysg indicates, if she can work this out when she is in prison it will be a much smoother process; but there are no guarantees when it comes to a transfer of parole.

    When was she sentanced? How much jail time did she serve prior to her conviction? She'll be credited for the time served, and she might even qualify for good-behavior credits.
