What happens if a parolee violates the conditions of parole or mandatory release?
A Probation Officer reports the violation to the Parole Commission and a Commissioner determines the appropriate sanctions, including the possibility of issuance of an arrest warrant or a summons for the parolee to appear at a hearing. The Probation Officer is required to report any and all violations, but may recommend that the parolee be continued under supervision. The Probation Officer’s recommendation is one of the factors considered by the Commission in its decision.
