Paroling, Recommitting, and Supervising Federal Prisoners: Prisoners Serving Sentences Under the United States and District of Columbia Codes

Résumé

The U.S. Parole Commission is adding a procedural rule to provide that parole revocation and reparole decisions resulting from a revocation hearing for a District of Columbia Code offender may be administratively appealed. With this change, the Commission is also amending several rules to permit the initial decisions in DC parole revocation cases to be made by one Commissioner. Extending an appeal procedure to revoked DC parolees provides an avenue for these parolees to seek administrative correction of alleged errors in revocation proceedings and to present their views before a second Commissioner. The rule changes further the Commission's goal of greater uniformity in decision-making procedures for all cases within the Commission's jurisdiction.
