What happens when a parolee is accused of violating the conditions of parole?
An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will conduct a preliminary hearing to determine if there is probable cause to believe that the parolee has violated the terms and conditions of parole. Evidence is heard and witnesses are questioned. The ALJ prepares a written summary of the preliminary hearing. If the ALJ finds probable cause exists a parole violation warrant is issued immediately upon receipt of the written summary. The parole violator is held at the county jail pending issuance of the warrant. If a warrant is issued, the Department of Corrections will return the parole violator to the Assessment Center. If probable cause is not found by the ALJ, the written summary of the hearing will be forwarded to the supervising parole officer for the parolee’s release back to supervision.
