What does the Youthful Offender Parole Board (YOPB) do?
Each offender appears before the YOPB shortly after they arrive in DJJ. At that time, an Initial Hearing is conducted where the YOPB reviews the case and orders the type of program the offender must complete. In addition, the YOPB indicates the date the offender can be considered for release to parole. (Keep in mind that their parole consideration date may change depending on how well or how poorly they are doing in the institution.
