Summary
The Committee on Parole revoked Joshua Skidmore after finding he traveled out of state contrary to his supervision conditions; family members addressed the panel in his favor but the board found probable cause for revocation.
The Louisiana Committee on Parole revoked Joshua Skidmore’s parole after the panel found he left his supervision area and traveled to Alabama, a violation of his release conditions. Skidmore admitted driving through Louisiana to Alabama; the panel found probable cause and revoked his parole.
Family members, including his mother, addressed the panel in support, describing his work history and efforts to secure a transfer back to Mobile County so he could live with family and continue working. The panel questioned Skidmore about substance-use treatment history; he acknowledged past drug problems and said he had completed the Steep Oil program.
Panel members said they understood Skidmore’s homelessness and treatment challenges but concluded the interstate-compact paperwork and the parole certificate supported revocation. The board recorded the revocation and invited staff to proceed with custody actions.
