Parole Revocation Waivers, Hearing Date Time Extensions

https://www.avvo.com/attorney-answers/53548-wi-jay-nixon-1529181/answers.html

What happens if someone is on a parole hold in jail and the 21 investigation days are done and they still haven't heard anything?  My friend has been in jail on a hold for 21 days and still hasn't heard any information from their parole officer.

The statute is vague about exactly when time extensions are allowed, but they are possible when "necessary." Of course, what happens in many of these cases is that the person has already waived their revocation hearing, and didn't quite realize that when they OK's the waiver paperwork (or forgot to tell their friends and family, who end up asking this question online). Waiving, however, is often the quickest way to get to the more comfortable lodgings of the state prison system, as opposed to the county jail where they are sometimes held pending revocation.  County jails are loud, crowded and claustrophobic places, compared to the State prison system institutions, where the atmosphere can be much more relaxed, with lots of opportunities to get outdoors for exercise, etc., much unlike county jails, which are not designed for long-term residency.
