The North Carolina Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission has approved the parole of Shashane Chambers, who was convicted in Guilford County Superior Court for second-degree murder. Chambers was sentenced to life imprisonment following a conviction on August 22, 1994.

The release is scheduled under the Mutual Agreement Parole Program (MAPP), a program that involves cooperation between the Commission, the State Prison System, and the offender. The parole release date is set for January 5, 2026.

MAPP provides scholastic and vocational opportunities as part of its three-way agreement. According to the state’s sentencing laws, parole was eliminated for crimes committed on or after October 1, 1994. However, offenders sentenced before this date remain eligible for parole consideration under earlier guidelines.

Questions regarding the parole process can be directed to the Parole Commission at (919) 716-3010.
