What types of offenses disqualify me from parole or probation?

In the state of Michigan, there are several offenses which would disqualify an individual from parole or probation. These offenses include, but are not limited to, driving under the influence (DUI), a felony involving firearms, first degree criminal sexual conduct, armed robbery, larceny from person, any offense which carries a minimum sentence in excess of five years, a conviction for any felony involving manufacturing, selling or using controlled substances, and a conviction for being a habitual offender. Additionally, any felony conviction within the last five years from the date of the petitioner’s parole or probation application will prevent parole or probation from being granted. Further, any individual who has been convicted more than twice in the last ten years of a crime punishable by more than a year in state prison will be denied parole or probation. Parole and probation will also be denied to any individual who was on parole or probation at the time they committed the crime for which they are seeking parole or probation. Finally, any individual who is currently serving a sentence for a felony conviction or who has a pending case for a felony offense, will not be qualified for parole or probation. In addition, failure to pay court-ordered fines, restitution, or costs can also disqualify an individual from receiving parole or probation. If an individual is denied parole or probation, they can appeal their case to the court to try to receive a review.
