Iowa 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section 904.904, and if the offender's work release has not otherwise been
revoked, the offender's case will be reviewed by the board.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.
