Public code and process facts

Official definition
Deny parole with no regular later review and require the offender to serve the balance of the sentence, unless the offender becomes eligible for mandatory-supervision consideration before the projected release date.
In plain English
Parole was DENIED — serve-all. No regular parole review follows, though mandatory-supervision consideration may still apply if the person is eligible.
What happens next
1. Parole is denied with no regular subsequent parole review. 2. The person serves the balance of the sentence; duration varies. 3. If eligible, mandatory-supervision consideration may occur before the projected release date; timing varies.
What you can do now
  • Keep the official decision correspondence.
  • Confirm the projected release date shown in official records.
  • Watch official records for any mandatory-supervision consideration.
  • Maintain long-term family contact and release planning.
Families often get this wrong
SA ends regular parole reviews, but the official definition leaves open mandatory-supervision consideration for an eligible person before the projected release date.
