Term of Supervision

PURPOSE: This rule indicates that there are conditions of supervision and restrictions on the length of time to be served on parole. (1) Any offender released on parole or conditional release from the Missouri Department of Corrections prior to completion of the maximum sentence will be subject to supervision. Time served under supervision counts as time served on the sentence. (A) Offenders who abscond from parole or conditional release supervision may not be given credit for time served while an absconder. (B) Offenders who violate parole or conditional release and receive a new sentence to a correctional institution outside the Missouri Department of Corrections may not receive credit on their sentence for the time served under the new conviction. (2) An offender who exhibits positive behavior under supervision and whose sentence expiration date is three and one-half (3.5) years or more after parole or conditional release may be eligible for discharge at the end of three (3) years under supervision provided that the board is satisfied that final release is not incompatible with public safety. An offender who is serving a sentence for a dangerous felony or sex offense will not be considered for final discharge until having served five (5) years under supervision except where the sentence expires earlier. Discharge from supervision is not automatic. The board will review the offender’s criminal record, circumstances of the present offense, community adjustment, and other stability factors before making a final order.
