Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 475-3-.06 - Time-Served Requirements for Parole Consideration

(1) An inmate serving a life sentence, for which parole is authorized by law, is automatically considered for parole on the date permitted by applicable constitutional or statutory law.

(2) An inmate serving a sentence other than life imprisonment, for which parole consideration is authorized by law, is considered under Parole Decision Guidelines. After investigations are complete, the Board applies the Parole Decision Guidelines to the particular circumstances of the inmate's case and notifies the inmate that he or she is denied parole throughout his or her confinement or notifies the inmate of a tentative parole month for some future time.

(3) If, upon the initial application of the Parole Decision Guidelines System, it is recommended that an inmate be denied parole throughout his or her confinement, the inmate will be considered for parole at the expiration of one-third of the sentence or sentences.
