You will likely be given little or no information pertaining to this subject by your initial institution prior to receiving your documents. I would strongly suggest that you be proactive in seeking out this information as early as you possible can. First, these dates are only approximate dates and are by no means the day when they will happen. The one specifically that I would like to elaborate on is the eligibility date shown for \u201cDay Parole\u201d. This \u201cDay Parole\u201d requires an inmate to submit a \u201cRequest Form\u201d to their \u201cP.O.\u201d to start the process for your opportunity in front of the \u201cParole Board\u201d. So, if you are sentenced to 3 years or less it would mean that it would be necessary to submit a \u201cRequest Form\u201d immediately after arriving at your \u201cProvincial Institution\u201d also known as the \u201cBucket\u201d to have 5 months prior to your\u201d Eligibility for Day Parole\u201d date. This is the amount of time required by the Federal Prison System to process this request.  So, as I already mentioned none of this important information will necessarily be explained to you at any of your institutions until perhaps after your \u201cDay Parole\u201d date passes by and you begin to inquire why you never were approached about it. If by chance, you are g ranted \u201cDay Parole\u201d you need to understand that this \u201cParole\u201d comes with many more restrictions than \u201cFull Parole\u201d. It usually requires that you get placement into a \u201cHalfway House\u201d rent free with some providing meals as well at no cost. In most cases you may be required to obtain a job within the community and may be required to wear an ankle bracelet when doing so.  You will also have a curfew time when you must be back at your \u201cHalfway House\u201d in the evenings. The required time that you would spend in these \u201cHalfway Houses\u201d would be determined by your \u201cCommunity Parole Officer\u201d before being allowed back into your community on your own.<br \/>\nIn regard to being granted \u201cFull Parole\u201d, this is legislative driven and does not require an inmate to submit a \u201cRequest Form\u201d. Usually a \u201cParole Board\u201d hearing is arranged around 1 month prior to your \u201cFull Parole\u201d date. \u201cFull Parole\u201d comes with fewer restrictions along with the ability to return to your own residence. There will likely be already established court ordered restrictions on what you can and cannot do and where you may or may not go. Usually you will be assigned a \u201cCommunity Parole Officer\u201d that you are required to check in with once a week at the beginning and perhaps less often as your \u201cCommunity Parole Officer\u201d sees fit, depending on how you conduct yourself over the course of time.<br \/>\n For either of these paroles to be granted by the \u201cParole Board\u201d you must have completed any programs that your \u201cP.O.\u201d had indicated that you needed to do prior to the dates indicated on your paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>Mikey,<br \/>\nFenbrook<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most important pieces of information that I wish to share with you in this article deals with your \u201celigibility [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1737\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prisonpulse.ca\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
