rants for the return to custody of alleged
violators of parole and to suspend or revoke
parole upon a showing of a violation of the
conditions thereof.
Decisions of its hearing examiners, if
concurred in by the Commission on sum-
mary review, become final. A final decision
of the Parole Commission may be appealed
to a panel of its members for review upon
the record. The decision of the appeal panel
is final.
The Commission must provide a parole
interview for every inmate who has served
one-fourth of a determinate sentence. Such
hearings are conducted at every penal and
correctional institution not less than
monthly, and at jails and/or other places of
penal confinement or detention in the State
as often as may be required to provide the
hearing mandated at the completion of one-
fourth of the total sentence. The Commis-
sion is also charged with the duty of evalu-
ating information on the activity of parolees
as reported to it by the Division of Parole
and Probation. In addition, it causes in-
vestigations to be made by the Division of
Parole and Probation and holds hearings
for the purpose of making recommenda-
tions to the Governor for his granting of
pardons, commutations of sentences, and
parole of persons sentenced to life impris-
onment. The Commission is also authorized
to negotiate and execute tri-party contracts
for the release on parole of an inmate at a
predetermined future date, conditioned upon
the fulfillment of the conditions specified in
the agreement. The signatories to such Mu-
tual Agreements are the Parole Commission,
the Commissioner of Correction, and the
inmate (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol, 1976
Supp., Art. 41, sees. 108-113, 117).
