What happens if someone violates their parole?
Parole agents can arrest the parolee. The parolee is brought back in front of the parole board for a hearing to determine whether parole should be revoked. If the Board of Pardons and Paroles is satisfied that any provision of parole has been violated, it may revoke the parole and reinstate the terms of the original sentence and conviction or it may modify conditions of parole and restore parole status. In addition, the board is authorized to order the reduction of time in full or in part for good conduct granted under SDCL 24-5-1. For old system inmates, if the board does not find that the provisions of parole have been violated, it may restore the parolee to the original or modified terms and conditions of his parole. An old system inmate will have another parole hearing eight (8) months from their violation. A new system inmate will be seen at a date set by the parole board (from 1-24 months from the violation).
