31-415. Violation of parole or community
supervision; warrant for retaking parolee or offender on community
supervision


If the parole clerk of the department of corrections or the director of the
department of corrections, or the board of executive clemency or any member thereof, has
reasonable cause to believe that a paroled prisoner or an offender on community
supervision has violated his parole or community supervision and has lapsed or is
probably about to lapse into criminal ways or company, then any of such persons may issue
a warrant for retaking the prisoner or offender at any time prior to expiration of the
maximum sentence or term of community supervision, which time shall be specified in the
warrant.
