Calvin Wilson, an inmate with conviction roots stretching back to 1992 for first-degree murder, is set to return to society after the North Carolina Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission approved his release. Wilson, sentenced to life in Mecklenburg County; has spent more than three decades behind bars, his fate sealed under guidelines that predate the current Structured Sentencing law that eradicates parole for offenses committed post-October 1, 1994.
According to a
notification
posted today, the Commission has slated December 4, 2024, as the date when Wilson will step back into a world much changed since his incarceration. Under the Mutual Agreement Parole Program (MAPP), Wilson has engaged in educational and vocational endeavors as part of a tripartite agreement that includes the Division of Prisons, and, the offender himself – a structured path aimed at an eventual re-entry into society.
The Parole Commission’s decision is consistent with a mandate to consider parole for those sentenced under old laws, even as the landscape of punishment and rehabilitation has been reshaped by the Structured Sentencing law. This law, which eliminated parole for later crimes, does not bind Wilson’s case, which falls into the hands of a different justice era.
For those seeking more information, the Commission is reachable at their contact number 919-716–3010.
