In connection with the hearing, the parolee is entitled to those procedural safeguards enumerated in section 9(a) of this chapter. The parolee may offer evidence in mitigation of the alleged violation.(b) If it is determined from the evidence presented that the parolee did not commit a parole violation, the charge shall be dismissed.(c) If it is determined that the parolee did violate parole, the parole board may continue parole, with or without modifying the conditions, or revoke the parole and order the parolee imprisoned on either a continuous or intermittent basis. If, however, the violation is the commission of a new:(1) Level 1 felony or Level 2 felony, the parole board shall revoke the parole and order continuous imprisonment; or(2) Level 3 felony, Level 4 felony, Level 5 felony, or Level 6 felony, the parole board may revoke the parole and order continuous imprisonment.(d) The parolee shall be provided with a written statement of the reasons for the action taken under subsection (c).(e) Unless good cause for the delay is established in the record of the proceeding, the parole revocation charge shall be dismissed if the revocation hearing is not held within the time established by subsection (a).(f) A parolee may admit to a violation of parole and waive the right to a parole revocation hearing if the parole officer notifies the parolee of the alleged violation in writing and provides notice of the parole revocation hearing before the parole revocation hearing.
