Parole violation in Virginia?

[little_sis]

My brother was extradited by VA yesterday for parole violation. Does anyone know if he would fall into one of the following scenarios in Virginia:

1)serve out the rest of his sentence with the time he was on the street and out of trouble counting toward the time he had left on his sentence
2)would he have to serve the remaining time that he had left on his sentence (2 yrs and 4 months on a 15 yr sentence) when he was placed on parole
3) does the parole board decide how long his sentence is going to be?

If the parole board decides, has anyone tried to appeal as a family member or loved one to plead the inmates case? How would I go about this? I am very frustrated b/c my brother received no counseling after serving over 12 yrs in VA (ages 18-31) and acted almost like he was stuck in his teenage years when he was released. He did not understand how to interact with people and often fell into deep bouts of depression resulting in heavy drinking. Any thoughts, ideas, experiences that anyone would like to share would be appreciated. I know that I am not the only one going through this, but I feel so lost and frustrated by the whole system. It seems that VA is bent on making my brother, and others, pay for mistakes for the rest of their lives even if they are remorseful.
Thanks,

No one can really say what the law is gong to do, but usauly they have to go back and finish the time remaining if the parole board decides to parole him before that, that is thier choice. If he got a charge on the street and is facing more time they will add that to his sentence, it is up to the judge how he wants to impose the time to be done either run together (concurrant) or seperate (consecutive) No Good time for him being good on the streets.
People complain because lived ones have to do classes before they get out and then loved ones complain because they didn't do classes.

Bottom Line It Never changed Out Here Right is Right & Wrong is Wrong!

Regardless if you have done Time or Not.....

The Ones on Parole Even Have To Be More Careful If They Want To Complete it and Not Go Back!

Most States offer Free Classes for anger management when you have been incarcerated but Most want nothing to do with classes.
