What is the current average term served for rape?

March 8th, 2010 5 comments

Without making any excuses for him, my father was convicted of rape when I was a baby, 21 years ago. He was into drugs and bad stuff, but I’d like to at least mention that he’s a wonderful person now (and a much better father than the man who raised me, and then took off on his wife and 6 kids, rarely to be heard from again), so if you’re here to inform me that he should have been put to death or something, please don’t. I hear it enough.

Anyway, he’s been up for parole several times, but he’s been denied. I was wondering if anyone knew what the average time served was in the case of rape? My father has been moved to a minimum security prison, has a spotless behavior record, is captain of several inmate sports teams and manages the on-site manufacturing company the prison runs. I’ve long learned not to get my hopes up, but these "flops" are getting a bit ridiculous. I know a boy who got less time than my father has served for second-degree murder, after which he helped the actual killer cut up and burn the body (Michigan "Thrill Kill" case).

So, yea, I tried searching and none of the useful pages would load. Thanks ahead of time!

I don’t think there really is any average amount served. I’d say it’s a good sign that your father has been moved to a minimum security prison. Hopefully, they’ll parole him at his next hearing and then you can help him acclimate to the real world. Things have changed drastically while he’s been gone and will need your support.

Good luck.
