Dear News Editor:
The N.C. Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission are notifying you that it is investigating 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 Division of Prisons, and the offender. This notice is being sent to you in order for the Commission to comply with North Carolina G.S. 15A-1371(3).
Information gathered during the investigation from persons for and against parole of the individual, as well as the facts of the case, will be considered by the Commission in making its decision. Upon completion of the investigation, the Commission will render their final decision and you will be notified within ten days of that decision.
The state’s current sentencing law, Structured Sentencing, eliminates 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 this matter, please feel free to contact the Commission at (919) 716–3010.
