Pardons for crimes like stealing copper wire, altering an odometer, selling moonshine and not reporting for military induction in the 50s. These are small crimes, most occuring around 30 years ago (on average) with punishment of probation. This brings up a question, thinking about the controversy over pardons by past Presidents and all that.

Sentenced to three years probation and fined $500 in 1993 for altering an odometer." picayune. how apt. posted by quonsar at 10:01 PM PST on December 23 There should be some sort of mechanism in place for purging peoples' records of convictions. Some people were not guilty, and they have exhausted their appeals. Other people have finished their sentences, reformed their lives, and are haunted by past convictions. In my home state, there is a pardon board: The Governor, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the Attorney General. There's no death penalty, so the petitioners are people with old convictions who can't get jobs or vote. Some of the cases are heartbreaking.

Office of the Illinois Attorney General October 31, 2001 FILE NO. 01-009 SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS: Effect of Pardon on Issuance of Teaching Certificate Mr. Glenn W. McGee State Superintendent of Education 100 North First Street Springfield, Illinois 62777 Dear Mr. McGee: I have been asked on your behalf whether a person who has been convicted of a criminal offense that would require revocation of a teaching certificate under section 21-23a of the School Code (105 ILCS 5/21-23a (West 1998)) may be issued a certificate following a pardon for the offense and the expungement of arrest records related thereto. For the reasons hereinafter stated, it is my opinion that although the applicant will not be precluded per se from certification, the conviction may be considered in determining whether the individual is of good character, notwithstanding that he or she has received a pardon relating to the conviction. According to the information that I have been furnished, an applicant for a teaching certificate was convicted in 1995 of the delivery of cannabis, and was not eligible for first offender probation under section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act (720 ILCS 550/10 (West 1998), as amended by Public Act 91-696, effective April 13, 2000)). After the applicant's initial application for certification was denied based upon the conviction, he requested and was granted a gubernatorial pardon for the offense "with order permitting expungement under the provisions of 20 ILCS 2630/5". The applicant then obtained an order expunging his arrest records. The individual has now reapplied for a teaching certificate. The issue is whether he is now eligible to be issued a teaching certificate.

Duhaime & Company wishes to thank the Department of the Solicitor General of Canada for permission to reproduce this information. Contents Introduction Advantages of a Pardon Limitations Revocation ... The Process Introduction The Criminal Records Act allows the National Parole Board (NPB) to issue, grant, deny or revoke pardons for convictions under federal acts or regulations of Canada. The Act also has provisions that affect people who have been given conditional or absolute discharges. Advantages of a Pardon Once a pardon is awarded, any federal agency or department that has records of conviction must keep the records of those convictions separate. They may not disclose the information in the record without the permission from the Solicitor General of Canada. The Criminal Records Act applies only to records kept within federal departments and agencies. However, many of the provincial and municipal law enforcement agencies cooperate by restricting their records once notified that a pardon has been awarded.

Montgomery, Alabama In addition to providing parole services in Montgomery County for the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles, the State Probation and Parole Office in Montgomery also provides probation investigations on convicted felony offenders and supervising offenders who are placed on probation by the courts. The Montgomery office also has an Intensive Probation and Parole Program which supervises high risk offenders in a rigid structure of supervision and surveillance. The Montgomery Office also has a unique program called the Release on Recognizance (ROR) Program which is a contract between the Montgomery County Commission and the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles. With this program, certain persons who are in the Montgomery County Detention Facility awaiting trial or other court proceedings, who are otherwise unable to make bond, may be released on this program to be supervised by the State Probation and Parole pending their hearing. This project frees up vital bed space in the Detention Facility and saves the County money. In addition, this program also utilizes Electronic Monitoring Services to intensively supervise high risk offenders on "house arrest." This program has been in operation since 1992 and has continually met increased success. The Montgomery Probation and Parole Office is located in the first floor of the Montgomery County Courthouse. The Intensive Probation and Parole Office and the ROR Offices are located in the basement of the courthouse.

Director Jamie Estes, Administrative Asst. Missy Rodgers, Victim Services Liaison When the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services created the Office of Victim Services in 1986, it became the first probation/parole agency in the country to hire staff whose sole job duties were to work with victims. The Department is deeply committed to ensuring that victims' rights are protected and that victims receive comprehensive services from DPPPS. The goal of the Office of Victim Services (OVS) is to keep victims informed of the status of their case and allow them to be involved in the process. Often times victims find themselves feeling "re-victimized" by the criminal justice system. By using the services offered by OVS, victims obtain quicker and more comprehensive services to their questions about probation, parole and pardon matters, as well as the criminal justice system in general. By being kept informed of the status of their case and given the opportunity to be involved in the process, hopefully victims will experience less frustration and anxiety, and eliminate the feeling of being "left in the dark." Through knowledge and participation, victims may regain a sense of control over their lives - control which many victims feel they have lost.

TEXT ONLY HOME HISTORY OF THE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLE Creation of the Board of Pardons and Parole (1889) Parole by the Board of Prison Commissioners (1907) Sixteen years later, the Legislature provided for the parole of prisoners (Ch. 95, L. 1907). The 1907 legislation authorized the State Board of Prison Commissioners, consisting of the Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General, to parole an inmate of the Montana State Prison (MSP) subject to the following restrictions: An inmate could not be paroled if the inmate previously had been convicted of a felony other than the one for which the inmate currently was imprisoned. An inmate serving a time sentence could not be paroled until the inmate had served at least one-half of the inmate's full term, "not reckoning his good time", except that an inmate serving a time sentence could be paroled after serving 122 years. An inmate serving a life sentence could not be paroled until the inmate had served 25 years "less the diminution which would have been allowed for good conduct had the inmate's sentence been for 25 years." Additionally, the parole had to receive unanimous approval from the Board of Pardons and Parole.

77. Nixon Charges Bond Pardoned Friends JEFFERSON CITY Attorney general Jay Nixon took his soft-on to determine if the pardonswere previously approved by Missouri's probation and Parole http://www.mdn.org/1998/STORIES/NIXBOND2.HTM

Nixon Charges Bond Pardoned Friends October 20, 1998 By: Najeeb Hasan State Capital Bureau JEFFERSON CITY - Attorney General Jay Nixon took his soft-on-crime campaign against U.S. Sen. Kit Bond one step further Tuesday. With the Jefferson City Correctional Center's stern walls looming as a strategic backdrop, Nixon released memos and letters collected from state archives to support his claim that Bond awarded pardons to supporters and campaign contributors during the two terms Bond served as governor. The release of the documents was timed just two weeks before Missouri's Nov. 3 senatorial election in a race already pockmarked by finger pointing and accusations. "This is just another accusation from Jay Nixon that's 20 years old," said Dan Hubbard, a spokesperson from the Bond campaign. "It appears basically inaccurate and it's reckless for Nixon to talk about this when there are obvious flaws in his facts." In Tuesday's press conference Nixon built upon a campaign that already includes accusations of Bond commuting the sentences of 92 rapists and 55 murderers. Nixon said Bond granted more than 150 pardons during his terms as governor. "Some of these pardons were blatant political favors," Nixon said. "They were clearly inappropriate ... it was influence peddling pure and simple."

I. Overview of the Department of Correction The Department of Correction is responsible for the care, custody, and supervision of all individuals sentenced after the conviction of a felony or serious misdemeanor in North Carolina. Sentences may vary from probationary terms served in the community to active prison sentences served in one of the ninety-two prison facilities. The General Statutes direct the department to provide adequate custodial care, educational opportunities, and medical and psychological treatment services to all incarcerated persons while at the same time providing community-based supervision and some needed social services to offenders on probation or on parole or post-release supervision. The department was established in 1972 by authority of the Executive Reorganization Act of 1971 as the Department of Social Rehabilitation and Control. The Act provided for the joining of the Parole Commission, the Advisory Board of Correction, and the department made up of the Divisions of Prisons, Adult Probation and Parole and Youth Development. The secretary of the department is appointed by the Governor and serves at his pleasure. The secretary is responsible for the supervision and administration of all department functions except that the Parole Commission has the sole authority to release incarcerated offenders prior to the expiration of their sentence. In July, 1974, the department was renamed the Department of Correction, the Parole Commission was expanded from three to five members, and further consolidation of responsibilities and functions occurred. In 1975, the Division of Youth Development was transferred administratively to the Department of Human Resources, leaving the Department of Correction its current administrative configuration.
