Talk:Parole

message: Regarding Ferdinand de Saussure's terms 'langue' and 'parole', they aren't all that complex. I seriously doubt whether there is any other material to add to the lingustic stub. I suggest that it be removed, the description on Saussure's page should suffice.
As regards the other definition of Parole. As Wiki isn't a dictionary, could we also remove this entry, and thus the whole page? Dduck 19:48, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Hopefully it's a bit more than just a dictionary entry now.  There's certainly room for more article content - parole boards, nature of supervision, most definitely information on parole in countries besides the US. 66.167.132.156 06:52, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: As for the linguistic meaning: Someone comes across the term somewhere, doesn't understand it, types it into Wikipedia thinking that's an encyclopaedia and, according to Dduck, should get either only the legal meaning or nothing at all. I don't see why. I agree with 66.167.132.156 that much more can be written here. --KF 21:12, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: Medical parole has had no edits for nearly 2 years. Part of it is already covered in parole so I suggest it be merged here. If you do not agree, please suggest an alternative way of getting knowledgeable editors to improve it. --Bduke 06:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: After reading this article, I still don't have a clue about what a parole is in the united states.  The article describes only when and why it happens, but not what happens. --63.226.216.238 03:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I came here to look for parole as a topic world wide, and its just full of americana! As if the whole parole idea was thought up by an american. very unencycopediac. Sparkyboi (talk) 22:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Americacentric? 

message: Although I think that the respective articles on parole and probation do make the differences between them clear if you read both articles, I suggest that a short section be added to each article that clearly explains the distinction between them, and provide a cross reference to the other article.

thread_title:  Parole vs. probation 

message: I removed the following from the Modern History Section
: At the same time, most other nations, such as European nations and Mexico, have abolished life without the possibility of parole because it is considered cruel.  Regardless of the 'validity' of parole, a convicted felon is not permitted to own or carry firearms at any time within the US.
I see this as POV, arguing that life without parole is cruel and questioning the validity of parole.  At the very least, the European nations should be named and citations provided showing the reason they no longer issue life without parole sentences is that they find it to be cruel.  The gun issue does not fit into that paragraph, but may be appropriate somewhere else.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eastshire (talk • contribs) 17:19, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of other issues with that passage, the phrasing in my opinion is not 'POV'. It would be 'POV' (a Wikipedia article promoting a certain opinion) if it read, for example: 'life imprisonment without possibility of parole is cruel, therefore several countries have abolished it'. However saying that certain nations (at least the lawmakers there) held something as cruel, is not itself an opinion, it only attibutes an opinion to other people.

thread_title:  Validity of life without parole and gun rights 

message: "Parole should not be confused with probation, as parole is serving the remainder of a sentence outside of prison, where probation is given instead of a prison sentence and as such, tends to place more rigid obligations upon the individual serving the term." ????  As such ... the term (sentence, yes?) does not exist (for a probation circumstance) thus the qualifier invalidates the distinction.  The all important intro paragraph is wrough with a lack of any clarity. Cisum.ili.dilm (talk) 21:28, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This phrase seems to be completely gone from the article, now. Ken K. Smith (a.k.a. Thin Smek) (talk) 16:37, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: befuddled expression

message: I removed a sentence ("One proposed reform is that parole bonds be used to encourage defendants not to re-offend. ") from the lead as it did not connect to anything around it. I am placing it on this talk page as it should probably be restored to the article, but placed in a dedicated "Parole reform" section. --Khajidha (talk) 12:32, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Is it an early example of gamification of life? Zezen (talk) 22:04, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gamification? 

message: The article originally said "The United States is the only nation in the world where parole is a politically divisive issue." I find this completely impossible (probably the opinion of the author of the source, but I didn't look at the source), so I changed it to "Parole in the United States has proven to be politically divisive". —Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 04:32, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
