Scheduling of Parole Hearings

(1) Parole Board members afford a parole release hearing to every inmate who is eligible for parole. Where parole is denied after this initial release hearing, the Parole Board members provide subsequent parole review hearings. See 120 CMR 301.00 through 301.03. (2) Parole Board members afford a parole rescission hearing to every inmate whose parole release date was suspended upon receipt of adverse information not previously known to the Parole Board members when they made the release decision. See 120 CMR 302.01: Rescission of Parole Date: General Provisions. (3) A parole hearing panel affords a preliminary and a final revocation hearing to every parolee who is alleged to have violated one or more conditions of parole and for whom the Parole Board contemplates revocation of parole status. The preliminaryrevocation hearing may be eliminated where a valid substitute exists. See 120 CMR 303.10: Substitutions for Preliminary Revocation Hearing.
