(1)
A Detainer is a warrant or hold placed against an inmate by another jurisdiction (called the
“detaining authority”) notifying the holding facility of the intention to take custody of the
individual when he or she is released.
(2)
The presence of a detainer shall not, in and of itself, constitute a valid reason for the denial of
parole.
(3)
Parole to Detainers.
(a)
As used in this rule, unless the context otherwise requires, ‘parole to a detainer’ means
the release of the inmate to the physical custody of the authority who has lodged the
detainer.
(b)
Where the detainer is not lifted, the Board may grant parole to such detainer within
their discretion.
(c)
The Board will cooperate in establishing and maintaining arrangements for concurrent
supervision with other jurisdictions, where such arrangements are feasible and where
release on parole appears, to the Board, to be justified.

CHAPTER 1100-01-01
(d)
If the Board has granted parole to “detainer only” and the jurisdiction placing the
detainer lifts it or fails to take custody of the inmate, a rescission hearing will be
scheduled.
