Iowa Admin. Code r. 205-8.15 - Parole authorized following work release
(1) The board may, at the time of granting
work release, grant an offender parole contingent upon successful completion of
work release. Whenever the board grants parole contingent upon successful
completion of work release, it will indicate in the offender's file any special
conditions for parole and that parole is contingent upon successful completion
of work release.
(2) The
residential manager makes a determination whether the offender has successfully
completed the work release. For the purpose of this rule, successful completion
of work release means, at a minimum, the absence of any violent acts or threats
of violence by the offender from the time the work release was authorized and
either (1) the offender has completed all board-recommended programs or (2) the
offender has enrolled in all recommended programs not completed and is making
satisfactory progress toward completion and the facility is able to arrange for
continued program participation while the offender is on parole. When an
offender successfully completes the work release program, the residential
manager shall certify that fact to the board in a written or electronic
certification. Upon receipt of the certification, the chairperson or the
chairperson's designee will cause a parole order to be issued and forwarded to
the residential facility where a parole agreement will be executed by the
offender with such parole conditions as the board may require in its original
release decision. Parole is effective only upon execution of the parole order
and agreement by the parole officer and the parolee. No further action is
required by the parole board for said parole. Before the parole becomes
effective, the chairperson or the chairperson's designee may refer the case
back to the board for further consideration. Nothing in this rule shall prevent
the parole board from considering revocations of work release or parole for
violations of the parole order, agreement, or any other provision of law, as
otherwise provided in the board's administrative rules.
(3) If the residential manager does not
certify that an offender has successfully completed work release within the
six-month limit established in Iowa Code section
904.904, and if the offender's
work release has not otherwise been revoked, the offender's case will be
reviewed by the board. The board may grant parole, extend work release, refer
the offender back to prison, or take any other action authorized by
law.
(4) The grant of parole
contingent upon successful completion of work release will comply with subrules
8.13(1) and 8.13(2).
(5) An
offender who has been granted parole contingent upon successful completion of
work release and who fails to successfully complete work release for whatever
reason will be reviewed for further release consideration according to the
board's administrative rules.
(6)
Parole granted under this rule is administered and supervised according to the
board's administrative rules, 205-Chapters 10 and 11.
