== media appearances. minor correction suggestion. ==

Jones asked Chapman to tell his story for ''Mugshots'', a [[CourtTV]] program in 2000, with his first parole hearing approaching. Chapman refused to go on camera but consented to tell his story in a series of audiotapes.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}}

since Jack Jones is mentioned in the previous paragraph, when his name comes up again in the article, just using his last name,
makes that section extremely unclear. this is because other individuals are mentioned in the article between the first mention and the second. It would be much clearer and easier to read to you edit it to use the first and last name "jack jones". I would do it myself but I don't have a wikipedia account and I don't want to cause any trouble.<!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/12.189.54.6|12.189.54.6]] ([[User talk:12.189.54.6#top|talk]]) 11:51, 23 September 2020 (UTC)</small>
:While I get the aim for linearity date wise with the original edit, I happen to agree with the above thought as I had the same reaction (Who is Jones?). If linearity in the chronological sense is truly necessary, the last two paragrphs could br rewritten, but I think the swap works just as well.[[User:THX1136|THX1136]] ([[User talk:THX1136|talk]]) 23:55, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

== Mark David Chapman --> American performer of Christian music? ==

I found that Mark David Chapman was added to the category [[Category:American performers of Christian music|American performers of Christian music]]. Is this anywhere near true?

== Parole update ==

Has anyone received information about whether Mark Chapman's parole hearing this year was accepted or rejected? The article says that his hearing is scheduled for the next few days after the 30th August of this year. But it should have ended by now. I presume it was rejected as usual. I don't know why he's still bothering to apply for parole. Since he's definitely safer in prison. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<span style="color:#800000;">C.Syde</span>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<span style="color:#000000;">talk</span>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<span style="color:#000000;">contribs</span>]])</span> 22:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

== Parole 2024 ==

If his parole hearing was scheduled for Feb 2024, why isn’t there anything about it on the news? [[Special:Contributions/146.90.135.179|146.90.135.179]] ([[User talk:146.90.135.179|talk]]) 07:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

== Denied ==

He’s been denied parole according to the N.Y. government parole calendar [[Special:Contributions/146.90.135.179|146.90.135.179]] ([[User talk:146.90.135.179|talk]]) 18:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

== His next parole hearing ==

If you open the link I added on the page, search his first middle and surname and it brings up a load of people with the same name, and if you look at his (81A3860), his earliest release date says 8/2025 [[User:Movies09|Movies09]] ([[User talk:Movies09|talk]]) 10:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

== 44 Hours per what? ==

The article says "The program allows him to spend forty-four hours alone with his wife in a specially built prison home". 44 hours a week? A month? A DAY? [[User:Sushidude21!|Sushidude21!]] ([[User talk:Sushidude21!|talk]]) 03:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

:44 hours per visit i think [[Special:Contributions/143.159.11.220|143.159.11.220]] ([[User talk:143.159.11.220|talk]]) 16:45, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:The 2008 ''New York Daily News'' source in the article states that he has been in the program since 1992 and that his wife visits for "44 hours straight". The article cites an unnamed source saying that his wife visits "once a year on average, sometimes more often." Apparently this program is only open to prisoners in protective custody, and he says it was his motivation for agreeing to go to PC. If we include this in the article we should either find a more current source or clarify that he was receiving these visits as of almost 17 years ago.
