How- ever, GAO's current study showed that the Parole Commission and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts have acted to improve the complete- ness of the information available for parole release decisionmaking. Parole and good time (time off the sentence for good behavior) have reduced the period of imprisonment for most federal offenders. GAO found that the Parole Commission made parole decisions for 676 of the 1,044 organized crime figures and major drug traffickers sentenced between January 1962 and July 1983 in 37 selected judicial districts. The median sentence imposed by the courts for the 390 offenders granted parole by the Parole Coin mission was 120 months, while the median time served or to be served was 50 months. For the 286 offenders denied parole, the median sentence imposed by the courts was 60 months, while the median time served or to be served was 44 months. ~$D S71?126893 GAO/GGD-85-29 APRIL 4, 1985 7
