Does the Judge or other court official make a recommendation to the Commission regarding parole?
The Judge who sentenced you, the Assistant United States Attorney who prosecuted your case and your defense attorney may make recommendations regarding parole. These recommendations are generally submitted to the Commission before your first hearing and become a part of the material the Commission considers. The Judge’s recommendation and the defense attorney’s recommendation will be made on Form AO-235. The Assistant United States Attorney’s recommendation will be on Form 792.
