"Wow, cuz I don't have a restraining order ... what's gonna happen when he gets out? What happens if he finds me and something happens to me and my kids?"
The young woman's boyfriend and other parolees involved in domestic violence will likely be candidates for non-revocable parole.
What it means is ... the parolee has no more restrictions ... he doesn't have to report to a parole agent ... he doesn't even have to let anybody know where he's living.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said, "People, for example, that have been arrested and sent to prison for domestic violence who had prior conditions, a stay away order and other things that would keep them from contacting their victim no longer have those conditions."
Chief Jerry Dyer said chances are when offenders get out of prison they will re-contact their victims. And the consequences could be dangerous.
Pam Kallsen, Executive Director of Fresno's Domestic Violence Shelter ... the Marjaree Mason Center ... said victims of domestic violence need to be pro-active right now. She recommends having a safety plan or a plan of escape and get a restraining order. The Majaree Mason Center can help victims with both.
