#(most of the cases I've heard are closer to 20/25 years before the option comes up)

OOC: One nice thing about my job is that I can listen to things on my phone. I'm listening to a true crime podcast that's gone in-depth about the parole board and...

I'm remembering the fact that, even though Y.ancy applied for parole in Space, the odds are SUPER stacked against him. Despite everything he's done in prison to reform himself and better himself, he's got a lot weighed up against him in terms of his prior criminal record and danger as a violent person; and all this is not considering the possibility that his own family would object to his release on account of him hurting another.

When it comes to his parole on this blog there are some factors that go into account. For instance, he can't move to a state where any of his family (direct or extended) live, and he probably can't move out of the state he's in without a LOT of hoop jumping and paperwork. I've also considered the idea of an ankle GPS tracker as well as regular sign-ins with his parole officer. And, most importantly, if he's shipped off the planet, they won't object. That's just as helpful as a death sentence (similar to how the Irish used to be exported to Australia as prisoners).

... I may need to try applying this level of overthinking to the end of my work shift today...

#(obviously I know things aren't accurate because him getting the chance to apply for parole after a double murder #when only serving eight years is highly unlikely) #(most of the cases I've heard are closer to 20/25 years before the option comes up) #(at the same time I'm making sure there isn’t an innate babying of my boy by having it as a guarantee) #(he definitely failed first time; unless it's a setting where he’s immediately boarding the Invincible) #yancyheadcanon #on the tablet
