He was sentenced to life in prison for violations of the Espionage Act. He was granted parole on July 7, 2015 and released on November 20, 2015.
The core 1,250 pages of documents in this collection include:
The Jonathan Jay Pollard Espionage Case: A Damage Assessment, October 30, 1987.
In 1987, the CIA's Foreign Denial and Deception Analysis Committee, at the direction of the Director of Central Intelligence, produced a Top Secret/Codeword 166-page study examining the damage caused by Jonathan Pollard's espionage on behalf of Israel in 1984 and 1985. The focus of the study was Pollard's personal history and espionage career, Israeli intelligence priorities and requests, material provided by Pollard, as well as losses and vulnerabilities. Additional material includes a detailed chronology and lessons learned in this case concerning security and counterintelligence.
The report includes a section titled "What the Israelis Did Not Ask For." The study states that Israel "never expressed interest in US military activities, plans, capabilities, or equipment." The report says that Pollard's Israeli handlers sought information about Syrian drones and central communications, Egyptian missile programs, and Soviet air defenses. Israel was greatly interested in a signals intelligence manual that would allow them to listen in on Soviet advisers in Syria.
When interviewed by the FBI, Pollard claimed that a key contributing factor to his actions was his concern and frustration over the inadequate US reaction following the bombing of the U.S. Marine headquarters in Beirut in October 1983. Pollard rationalized that if the U.S. Government was unwilling to take effective countermeasures to protect its own interests in Lebanon, then it might be unwilling or unable to provide Israel with adequate assistance in the event of critical need. Pollard stated he "walked out of the memorial service (for the Marines) committed to doing something that would guarantee Israel's security even though it might involve a degree of potential risk and personal sacrifice."

About Jonathan Jay Pollard
Jonathan Jay Pollard, born August 7, 1954, in Galveston, Texas, is a convicted Israeli American spy. While working as an American civilian intelligence analyst for the Navy, he passed classified information to Israel. He was convicted and received a life sentence in 1987. As his crime occurred prior to November 1, 1987, he was eligible for parole.
Pollard attended Stanford University and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. According to Ronald J. Olive, author of the book, "Capturing Jonathan Pollard: How One of the Most Notorious Spies in American History Was Brought to Justice," he amused his classmates with his espionage fantasies, he claimed to be a Mossad colonel, but he wasn’t taken seriously. When Pollard’s application to the CIA was rejected, he went to the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) and found a home in its Anti-Terrorist Alert Center (ATAC).
Pollard was turned in by a colleague at work who noticed that Pollard requested classified documents not needed in his work. The FBI entered the case on November 15 and began a series of interviews with Pollard. After an interview with FBI agents on November 21, Pollard and his wife drove to the Israeli Embassy in Washington where they stayed for approximately 20 minutes. Inside the Embassy, Pollard requested political asylum with the hope of fleeing the United States. The Israelis refused to grant them asylum. Jonathan Pollard was arrested on November 21, 1985, outside the Israeli Embassy. The next day, the FBI arrested his wife, Anne Henderson Pollard. They were charged with selling classified documents to Israel. Four Israeli officials also were indicted but escaped the United States. The Israeli government claimed that it was a rogue operation.
