RULE TEXT

R671. Pardons (Board of), Administration.

R671-405. Parole Termination.

R671-405-1. Termination of Parole.

The Board [will]may consider terminating an offender's parole when petitioned to do so by the Department of Corrections, other interested parties or on its own initiative. When considering termination, the Board will toll any parole time when a parolee is an absconder. The toll time will be from the date a Board warrant was issued to the date the warrant was executed.

When a termination is approved by the Board, written notification of the Board's action will be provided to the parolee through the Department of Corrections.

Depending on the crime, statutory periods of parole without violation are three, ten years, the unexpired length of the sentence, or life.

Upon receipt of written notification of the service of the statutory maximum period on parole and verification of that information, the Board of Pardons will then order the closing of the file.
