PURPOSE: An alleged supervised released violator is entitled to a revocation hearing by the parole board under statutory authorization and under the provisions of a United States Supreme Court decision, Morrisey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 471, 92 S.Ct. 2593, 33 L.Ed.2d 484 (1972).

1. (1) When probable cause has been found in the case of alleged violation of parole or conditional release, the alleged violator has the right to a revocation hearing before the board. The hearing will be held within a reasonable time after the alleged violator has been made available by his/her return to the Department of Corrections.

   1. (A) An alleged parole or conditional release violator will be contacted by an institutional parole officer and given a form to sign indicating whether s/he requests a revocation hearing or whether s/he waives a hearing.
   2. (B) Alleged probation violators will appear before the court and make their desires known at that time as to whether they want a revocation hearing.
   3. (C) The alleged violator may present his/her own testimony regarding the alleged violation, and may present any other documents or evidence of mitigating circumstances which may throw light on the violation.
   4. (D) The alleged violator may present his/her own witnesses who have relevant information concerning this violation. These witnesses are not just to be character witnesses. It will be the alleged violator’s responsibility to produce his/her own witnesses and s/he will be given an opportunity to make contacts as may be necessary to assure the appearance of any witnesses or to pay any expenses incurred by the alleged violator in preparation for or resulting from the hearing.
   5. (E) The alleged violator may confront and cross-examine any adverse witness unless the board finds good cause for not allowing a confrontation or cross-examination.

   6. (F) The alleged parole or conditional release violator may have a representative of his/her choice at the revocation hearing. The representative may be a family member, a friend, an employer or legal counsel. The alleged violator found to be indigent may be provided legal counsel in either of the following instances:

      1. 1. Upon request, counsel may be pro-

vided if there is no admission to the alleged violations; or

1. 2. Counsel may be provided if the

alleged violator is not capable of self-representation.

1. (G) A statement by the board as to the evidence relied on and reasons for revoking shall be supplied to parolee or conditional releasee.

1. (2) After the revocation hearing of an alleged parole or conditional release violator, the board will reach a decision within ten (10) working days from the date of the hearing or as soon after that as practicable. The inmate will receive a written notice of the board’s action as soon as the notice can be prepared and delivered. Following is a possible list of decisions the board may make, but does not exhaust the decisions open to the board:

   1. (A) The board may request additional information by means of various types of reports from the supervising parole officer, consulting psychologist or psychiatrist, or any other party or agency that might be able to supply additional information regarding the violation;
   2. (B) The board may schedule the alleged violator for another personal hearing before the board to look more deeply into the violation;
   3. (C) The board may revoke and deny further parole consideration, causing the violator to serve the remainder of his/her sentence;

   4. (D) The board may revoke and reschedule the violator for a hearing or release.

      1. 1. If the remaining time on the sentence

from the date of revocation is less than twelve (12) months, it is very likely the board will give a complete denial of further parole consideration.

1. 2. If the remainder of the sentence to

serve after revocation is more than twelve (12) months, the board may schedule a hearing. The hearing will be held within one (1) year for technical violators and absconders. A violator with a new sentence to the Missouri Department of Corrections will be held in accordance with board policy; and

1. (E) The board may not revoke, but consider the alleged violator for reinstatement on parole on conditional release. The release will occur as soon as a satisfactory plan is approved by the board.

1. (3) Following are the rules regarding time accredited to a parole or conditional release violator’s sentence:

   1. (A) For those individuals who were arrested for a crime while on parole or conditional release and received a conviction and sentence to be served outside the Department of Corrections, the board shall determine what part, if any, of the time from the date of arrest 14 CSR 80-4

until completion of the sentence imposed, is counted as time served under the sentence from which they were paroled or conditionally released;

1. (B) For those individuals who violate parole or conditional release by absconding, the board shall determine what part, if any, from the date of the board’s official Order of Arrest and Return issuance to his/her return to the Department of Corrections is counted as time served under the original sentence;
2. (C) Those individuals sentenced to the Department of Corrections under section 195.221, RSMo (1986) for selling, giving or delivering a controlled substance and were paroled prior to August 13, 1984 are compelled to serve the full amount of their sentences if paroled, plus an additional five (5) years. If they violate this parole, they must serve any time remaining on their sentences from the date of the release on parole;
3. (D) In case of consecutive sentence, time is accredited as any other case. If one (1) parole is revoked and there are remaining consecutive paroles issued, all are automatically revoked;
4. (E) Time served on conditional release does count as time served on an inmate’s sentence; and
5. (F) If the board revoked the parole or conditional release, the paroled person shall serve the remainder of his/her prison term and all the conditional release term, as an additional prison term, and the conditionally released person shall serve the remainder of the conditional release term as an additional prison term, unless s/he is sooner released on parole under section 217.690, RSMo (1986).

1. (4) If an inmate is revoked as a parole violator or a conditional release violator, s/he is not eligible for conditional release, but can be considered for parole at a later time.
