OPPORTUNITY AT THE PAROLE REVOCATION HEARING TO SHOW
THAT, IN FACT, THERE WAS NOT A VIOLATION OF THE
CONDITIONS OF PAROLE, OR THAT IF THERE WAS A VIOLATION OF
THE CONDITIONS OF PAROLE, THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES IN
MITIGATION WHICH SUGGEST THAT THE VIOLATION DOES NOT
WARRANT THE REVOCATION OF PAROLE. THE BOARD MAY EXCLUDE
INCOMPETENT, IRRELEVANT, IMMATERIAL AND UNDULY
REPETITIOUS EVIDENCE. ALL EVIDENCE, INCLUDING RECORDS
AND DOCUMENTS IN THE POSSESSION OF THE BOARD NOT
OTHERWISE PRIVILEGED, OF WHICH IT DESIRES TO AVAIL

THE CASE, AND NO OTHER FACTUAL INFORMATION OR EVIDENCE
SHALL BE CONSIDERED IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE CASE. A
FULL AND COMPLETE RECORD OF THE PAROLE REVOCATION HEARING
SHALL BE MAINTAINED. THE BOARD SHALL ISSUE A DECISION
PROMPTLY AFTER THE PAROLE REVOCATION HEARING. IF THE
BOARD DETERMINES, BASED ON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED AT THE
PAROLE REVOCATION HEARING, THAT THE PAROLEE DID NOT
VIOLATE A CONDITION OF PAROLE, THE PAROLEE SHALL BE
IMMEDIATELY RELEASED FROM CUSTODY AND REINSTATED ON
PAROLE. IF THE BOARD DETERMINES, BASED ON THE EVIDENCE,
THAT THE PAROLEE DID VIOLATE A CONDITION OF PAROLE, THE
PAROLEE SHALL BE NOTIFIED IN WRITING OF THE DISPOSITION.
IN SUCH A CASE, THE BOARD SHALL ORDER ANY ONE OR A
COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING DISPOSITIONS: (1) THAT THE
PAROLEE RECEIVE A REPRIMAND AND A WARNING; (2) THAT

WITH SECTION 110 OF THIS ARTICLE; (4) THAT THE PAROLEE BE
ASSIGNED TO RESIDE IN OR PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM OF A
COMMUNITY TREATMENT OR RESOURCE CENTER, OR SIMILAR
FACILITY, IF SUCH A FACILITY IS AVAILABLE. IF THE BOARD
DETERMINES THAT THE PROTECTION OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE
REINTEGRATION OF THE PAROLEE INTO THE COMMUNITY IS NOT
LIKELY TO BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH ANY ONE OR A
COMBINATION OF THESE OR OTHER AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVES, THE
BOARD MAY ORDER THAT THE PAROLE BE REVOKED, THE
CONDITIONS OF PAROLE BE TERMINATED AND THE PAROLEE BE
REIMPRISONED FOR A TERM COMPUTED IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER:
THE PERIOD OF RECOMMITMENT SHALL BE FOR THAT PORTION OF
THE IMPOSED, MAXIMUM SENTENCE WHICH HAD NOT BEEN SERVED
AT THE TIME OF RELEASE ON PAROLE LESS THE TIME ELAPSED
BETWEEN RELEASE ON PAROLE AND COMMISSION OF THE VIOLATION
OF THE CONDITIONS OF PAROLE FOR WHICH PAROLE WAS REVOKED,
AND IN ADDITION, THE BOARD SHALL GIVE CREDIT FOR TIME
SPENT IN CUSTODY AFTER RELEASE ON PAROLE IF SUCH TIME HAS
NOT BEEN CREDITED AGAINST ANOTHER SENTENCE, AND FURTHER,
THE BOARD MAY, IN ITS DISCRETION, GIVE CREDIT FOP TIME
ELAPSED BETWEEN COMMISSION OF THE VIOLATION AND
REVOCATION OF PAROLE. THE BOARD MAY AT ANY TIME REPAROLE
A PERSON WHOSE PAROLE HAS BEEN REVOKED.
