Preston Street, Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-3010 The Department of Parole and Probation was established by Chap- ter 625, Acts of 1953, to succeed the Division of Parole and Probation, created by Chapter 406, Acts of 1939, to administer the parole and probation laws of the State. The Department is headed by the Board of Parole and Probation, which consists of a chairman and two associ- ate members appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for six-year terms, one term expiring every two years. The chairman of the Board serves as Director of the Department. He may assign members of the Board to administrative and other duties as required. The Board of Parole and Probation may upon the vote of two of its members parole any person confined in the penal and/or correc- tional institutions of the State except inmates convicted as second or third offenders violating the narcotics laws or those serving life sen- tences. Parole of prisoners sentenced to life terms is the joint respon- sibility of the Governor and the Board. In cases of prisoners sentenced as second or third offenders for violations of the narcotics laws, the Board of Parole and Probation may not give favorable consideration for parole other than to a hospital for treatment, if sentenced after June 1966, until they have served a minimum of five years if con- victed as a second offender, or ten years, if convicted as a third offender. Hearings are generally conducted for inmates within the respective institutions when they have served one-fourth of their maximum sen- tences, or in five years, whichever first occurs. The Department administers the Interstate Compact for the reciprocal supervision of parolees and probationers. It places under the jurisdiction of the administrator, during the parole or probationary period, any person convicted of an offense within the State of Maryland who may there- after be placed on probation or released on parole to reside in another state. Similarly, the administrator decides whether parolees and pro- bationers from another state may reside in Maryland (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sec. 129). The Department makes available the services of its agents to the Circuit Courts for the respective Counties, the Criminal and the Municipal Courts of Baltimore City, and People's and Magistrates' Courts. It maintains district offices in Baltimore City, Bel Air, Easton, |
