Does the Parole Board run the prisons?
The State Board of Pardons and Paroles is not responsible for any operations of the State prison system. Only the Department of Corrections administers the prison, transfers an inmate from one prison to another, assigns an inmate to prison programs including work-release centers, makes an inmate a trustee, computes time to be served, issues time sheets, provides medical care, grants visiting and mail privileges, assigns inmate numbers and takes prison disciplinary action. Questions about those things should be directed to the Department of Corrections at 404-656-4661.
