What if the D.C. Board of Parole has made a decision in an offender’s case before August 5, 1998?
The U.S. Parole Commission will adopt any decision by the D.C. Board of Parole prior to August 5, 1998. If parole was denied and the Board ordered a reconsideration date, a rehearing will be held by the Commission during the month specified by the Board. A reconsideration date is not a promise of parole, but gives inmates the chance to improve their point scores through positive program achievement. The offender should ask his or her Case Manager for placement on the next docket at the institution. Re-application is not necessary.
