IN PAROLE, THE COURTS HAVE AVOIDED THE DICHOTOMOUS ISSUE BETWEEN THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES BY RESORTING TO THREE PAROLE THEORIES.
Abstract
THESE THEORIES INCLUDE GRACE, CONTRACT-CONSENT, AND CUSTODY, AND ONCE THE APPROPRIATE THEORY IS APPLIED THE CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE IS AVOIDED, TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE PAROLEE AND HIS LIBERTY. THIS ARTICLE COMPREHENSIVELY EXAMINES THE JUDICIAL RESPONSES TO PAROLE BY APPLICATIONS OF THE THEORIES.
