Honey I am in the same boat, mine is bipolar, had a manic episode and is classified now as an absconder, don't know what is going to happen. I don't know where he is, texts me and I try to tell him to come home so he can turn himself in, hopefully they will consider what went wrong and put him on electronic monitoring. Thought technical violations were not suppose to go back to prison, but his PO seemed almost like a rabid dog when he found out my guy was not home, like he loved the fact that he can put him back in prison. Just keep your head up and hope for the best is all I can say. I have found no answers as to what the penalty is for absconding. Actually his po told me that right now the charge is not being at the designated approved home plan but on vinelink it says absconded, so who knows. I will keep you in my prayers.

Joepro, I'm so sorry. It is a tech. I believe that violation of either Condition 2 (live at approve residence) or Condition 3a (maintain regular contact w PO) make him absconder (normally when you do one, you do both). Penalty for Condition 2 is 6-9 month hit. For condition 3a, 3-6. He is "absconded" (vs "supervised") because he's no longer reporting per conditions of parole. Parole Board has an abscounder list, but doesn't seem to be working right now.

They could send him to halfway back program (90) without revoking Parole. That's up to his Parole Officer (I believe). If they do send him back, he maybe eligible for the new Parole Violater Center program, and he could be out in as little as 3 months without having to wait for greensheet.

Good luck ladies.

Thank you for the answer. He is listed on the absconder list, and I have talked to his PO a few times, yes they have come to the house to search for him. I have talked to a few PO's that I personally know and they have all told me that his PO could make the recommendation for electronic monitoring or parole violator center program. My guy was doing well in school, adjusting well until his new doctor switch his medications, which working in the health field I should have seen the manic episode coming but I didn't. He is enrolled for college classes starting in September again, so we are hoping he makes it for that. I did talk to him on the phone last night, convinced him to come home SOON, so WE can take care of this problem together. I know he is scared that he is going back to prison for a long time, as when his PO called him and left him a voice mail he basically told my guy that he was going back for a long time,which I think is wrong. I don't know what I would do without this forum, it has supported me for the time he was in prison and even now after he is out. Everyone on here is the greatest, and I love you all!!!!

Maybe you can get his doctor to contact the PO supervisor and explain the issue of medication. Jail is not the answer for him. Joepro, I am pm'ing you

Unfortunately, absconding is second only to a new crime in the category of "parole failures." Absconders are dealt with strongly, and getting re-paroled is an uphill battle because they will keep asking, "Why should we trust you again?" Also, with that on your jacket, the DOC classifies as CL-4 for a long time, making jobs and other opportunities difficult while in prison. As I said elsewhere, this is one thing no parolee should ever do.

Hi I am pretty new to the State Parole thing. I was wondering with all the new laws going into effect what could happen to an absconder now? His PO told me more then likely at most he will do 90 in a pv center but another told me it could be a 1 year hit in prison. He has a job and his been supporting me and my son we both have disabilities. No new charges and his previous PO told him to go he was non report status and then paperwork was messed up and they couldnt find him. He didn't know he had to tell them he moved or something stupid like that. Anyway what are they doing with absconders now? The counselors at the prison say he has a 90% chance of going to PV for 90 day if so do the days he is sitting in prison count?

Sorry to say this but my fiance was told that he would get 90 days at a PV center if he did not fight the charges, but in the end he got a year hit by the parole board. Even the counselors at the prison said they didnt understand why he got a year, but he did. His hit was up in July and we are STILL waiting for him to see parole and get released.

In addition, the time he was listed as an absconder didn't count and will be added to his max date.

We are going through the same thing... My husband is bi polar, and suffers severe depression, with anxiety and panic attacks, he was sentanced to CRTC and abscounded, not once, not twice but three times,, currently sitting in jail awaiting his revocation hearing. Hang in there honey, all you can do is be there for him and pray for the best. My husband begged for medication and no one listened, so he left and self medicated. NOt a good idea either.... so here i sit waiting for his court date,, stressed out and praying,,, His attorney is going to try and get him his meds,,, but no telling what is going to happen. I am preparing myself for TDC but praying for a lighter sentance. Good luck to you.

So he got his greensheet and is told that he has to wait for a bed date at a center the time he as out has been revoked and added to his sentence. He has taken the urine and signed the medical release forms but no one has talked to him about anything else he has to do or when his bed date is. Also no one has told him when he can put in for a home plan or how long he will be at the pv center. He wants me to call the prison and talk to the parole people there I hope they have answers they can give me if not I will be calling the senators office again. I really hope he is home soon he is saying by January he should be home. Fingers crossed!

In all likelihood, the prison parole people won't have answers. Matters will be decided by the agent assigned to him at the PV center. He just has to wait his turn in line to get there and then follow the program.
