Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  General. The board at the central office calendar shall review the conduct and
				  progress of parolees and consider parolees for the scheduling of revocation
				  proceedings. The primary concern for the board at the central office calendar
				  shall be for public safety as discussed in section
				  2646.
(b) Decisions. The board at the central
				  office calendar may make any decisions that do not require hearings. Examples
				  of central office calendar decisions include:
(1) To Suspend Parole Pending Further
				  Determination. This decision shall be used for parolees who have absconded. The
				  Board of Prison Terms may set the time of parole suspension from either the
				  date of last contact with the parolee or, if contact has not been established,
				  the date that the parolee failed to report as instructed. The parolee may
				  produce evidence for reconsideration by the Board.
(2) To Issue Warrants. This decision shall be
				  used following suspension of parole for parolees who have absconded parole, and
				  any other time that a law enforcement agency requires a warrant to support the
				  arrest of a parolee.
(3) To Order
				  to Prison for Further Proceedings. This decision shall be used for parolees
				  incarcerated by another state or the federal government.
(4) To Schedule for Pre-revocation
				  Proceedings. This decision shall be used when a parolee is suspected of a
				  serious violation of parole and is within 30 days of discharge from parole.
				  This decision may be used at any other time as appropriate under the facts of
				  the case.
(5) To Schedule for
				  Limited Placement Proceedings. This decision shall be used for parolees charged
				  with parole violations which, if true, would not appear sufficiently serious to
				  warrant return to prison for an extended period, but who need placement in the
				  Substance Abuse Treatment Control Unit (SATCU). The parolee will ordinarily be
				  released within 90 days, but if further violations occur within the 90 days,
				  full revocation proceedings may be scheduled.
(6) To Schedule for Revocation Proceedings:
				  Psychiatric Treatment. This decision shall be used when facts are presented
				  indicating that the parolee is suffering from a mental disorder which
				  substantially impairs his or her ability to maintain himself or herself in the
				  community, or which makes him or her a danger to himself/herself or others,
				  when necessary psychiatric treatment cannot be obtained in the community. This
				  decision shall be made only after receipt of a written statement from a mental
				  health professional who has conducted a face-to-face evaluation of the parolee,
				  and found that the parolee is an individual described in §
											2616(a)(14). This
				  decision shall not be made when violations of another term or condition of
				  parole are charged.
(7) To Schedule
				  for Revocation Proceedings. This decision shall be used for parolees charged
				  with parole violations which, if true, would appear sufficiently serious to
				  warrant return to prison.
(8) To
				  Dismiss Charge(s). This decision shall be used to dismiss charges which will
				  not be considered at the scheduled hearing.
(9) To Continue on Parole. This decision
				  shall be used to continue a parolee on parole. If done "pending further
				  determination" it may be used for a previously suspended parolee who does not
				  need to be in custody pending a hearing.
(10) Reinstate on Parole. This decision shall
				  be made whenever a suspended parolee at large has been arrested in California,
				  has been located in California or is available to return to California from
				  another state or country. It indicates the date that the period of parole
				  commences after having been tolled during the period the parolee was at
				  large.
(11) To Vacate Early
				  Discharge Date. This decision shall be used in conjunction with the decisions
				  listed in subsections (b)(1)-(b)(7) when a parolee, who was previously granted
				  a discharge date earlier than the statutory maximum discharge date, will
				  discharge on the early discharge date before any action ordered by the board
				  can be completed. If an early discharge date is vacated, the statutory maximum
				  discharge date becomes the discharge date.
(12) Parole Period Extended Pending
				  Revocation Hearing. This decision shall be used to retain jurisdiction when a
				  parolee charged with a parole violation will discharge prior to a revocation
				  hearing.
