Preston Street, Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-3010 The Department of Parole and Probation was established originally by Chapter 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. By Chapter 457, Acts of 1968, the General Assembly created a new Board of Parole, which became operative on January 1, 1969, by which the Department of Parole and Probation is no longer responsible for the parole hearings of parole- eligible inmates of penal institutions within the State. The head of the Department of Parole and Probation is the Director of Parole and Probation. He is appointed by the Governor by and with the advice and consent of the Senate for an indefinite term. He holds office at the pleasure of the Governor. The Department supervises the conduct of parolees, and regularly informs the Board of Parole of their activities. The Department recommends, at its discretion, that the Board issue warrants for the retaking of parolees and issues warrants for the retaking of parolees charged with a violation of parole, upon the delegation of this power to the Director. The Department also makes such investigation as may enable the Board of Parole to determine the advisability of granting paroles to persons sentenced under the laws of Maryland whenever such prisoner shall have served in confinement one-fourth of such term or consecutive terms. The Department also supplies the judges of the Circuit Court of any county, the Criminal Court _ of Baltimore City, or any of the courts of limited jurisdiction, including but not limited to the Municipal Court of Baltimore City, with pre- sentence reports or other investigations which may include commit- ment for two or more years when requested by any judge. The De- partment, upon request of the courts, may supervise the conduct of persons placed on probation or suspension of sentence and ascertains and reports to the courts whether or not the conditions of such probation or suspension of sentence are being satisfactorily complied with. The Department also performs any other probationary services that the judges may request (Code 1957, 1965 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sees. 129-131). |
