Parole Revocation
Whenever the REF staff has reason to believe that a parolee has violated condition(s) of his/her parole contract, or has violated a State, Federal, or municipal law that parolee is returned to the institution. The parolee is brought before a Hearing Officer for a preliminary parole revocation hearing within 72 hours of his/her return.
The parolee is detained at Patuxent Institution to await a formal parole revocation hearing before the Board of Review, if the Hearing Officer determines there is probable cause. At that formal parole revocation hearing, the Board of Review determines whether or not the offender's parole status should be revoked. In cases where the Hearing Officer determines that probable cause does not exist to retain the parolee at Patuxent Institution, the parolee is permitted to return to the REF or the community.
