Can I appeal a decision to deny parole or probation?

Yes, you can appeal a decision to deny parole or probation in South Carolina. In order to appeal this decision, you must file a motion for reconsideration with the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services. You must file this motion as soon as possible after the denial. When you file the motion, you must include all of the facts and circumstances that support your position, as well as any legal arguments that you have. Once the motion is filed, the Department will review your information and make a decision. If the Department grants your motion and agrees to reconsider the denial, a hearing will be scheduled and you will be given an opportunity to present your case. If the Department denies your motion for reconsideration, you may still be able to appeal the denial by filing a petition for judicial review in the court with jurisdiction. At this stage, the court will review the decision of the Department and may modify, affirm, or reverse the decision. In either case, it is important to consult with an attorney before filing an appeal. An attorney will be able to help you understand the appeal process and prepare the necessary documents in order to present your case. With the right evidence and legal arguments, you may be able to reverse the decision to deny parole or probation.
