Dear News Editor:
In complying with North Carolina G.S. 15A-1371(3), the state Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission is notifying you that it has approved the above-referenced case for parole via the Mutual Agreement Parole Program (MAPP). MAPP is a scholastic and vocational program that is a three-way agreement between the Commission, the State Prison System, and the offender. Under the agreement, the offender’s parole release date is May 4, 2026.
The state’s current sentencing law, Structured Sentencing, eliminated parole for crimes committed on or after October 1, 1994. However, the Commission has the responsibility of paroling offenders who were sentenced under previous sentencing guidelines.
If you have questions concerning the parole process, please contact the Parole Commission at (919) 716-3010.
