Iowa Code r. 205-8.2 - Parole and work release eligibility

(1) Mandatory sentences. The board will not grant parole to an inmate serving a mandatory minimum sentence. The board will not grant work release to an inmate serving a mandatory minimum sentence unless the inmate is within six months of completing the mandatory minimum portion of the sentence. A parole or work release granted contrary to this rule will be rescinded. Mandatory minimum sentences are set out in the Iowa Code and are incorporated herein.
(2) Release to residential facility first. A person on parole or work release who is serving a sentence under Iowa Code section 902.12 shall begin parole or work release in a residential facility operated by the department of corrections.
(3) Parole to detainer. The board may grant parole to an inmate against whom a detainer has been placed by another jurisdiction. A person paroled who has a detainer lodged against the person under the provisions of Iowa Code chapter 821 may be paroled directly to the receiving state rather than to a residential facility operated by the department of corrections.
(4) Parole to other states. The board may grant parole to another state pursuant to the provisions of the interstate compact for adult offender supervision set forth in Iowa Code chapter 907B.
