What happens as a result of a parole hearing?
The Commission issues three primary types of parole decisions: • Refuse: The offender will not have any more parole hearings. • Rehear: The offender will receive another hearing at a specified time in the future. • Approve: The offender, upon meeting certain pre-release conditions, will be released to continue serving his or her sentence under parole supervision in the community. You will be notified in advance of the parole release date. Victims who have requested notification of an offender’s parole status will always be notified of any changes made by the Parole Commission to the offender’s parole status.
