Andrew Dósa – Criminal Defense Attorney – Oakland, CA

What happens with parole as an alternative, for offenders… in the old days, if you were in jail and you came out, it was called probation. If you went to state prison and got out, it was called probation.
Most of my clients tell me that probation is much more onerous. Or they feel it’s a greater burden, a greater weight for them. And so the idea of having parole sounds better to them. It may be exactly the same, but if you consider the alternative of the county jail versus the state prison, the state prison always seems more serious and a heavier burden.
