§574.7.  Custody and supervision of parolees; modification or suspension of supervision; violation of conditions of parole; sanctions; alternative conditions

A.  Each parolee shall remain in the legal custody of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, corrections services, and shall be subject to the orders and supervision of the board.  At the direction of the board, the chief probation and parole officer shall be responsible for the investigation and supervision of all parolees.  The board may modify or suspend such supervision upon a determination that a parolee who had conducted himself in accordance with the conditions of his parole no longer needs the guidance and supervision originally imposed.

B.(1)  If the chief probation and parole officer, upon recommendation by a parole officer, has reasonable cause to believe that a parolee has violated the conditions of parole, he shall notify the board, and shall cause the appropriate parole officer to submit the parolee's record to the board.  After consideration of the record submitted, and after such further investigation as it may deem necessary, the board may order:

(a)  The issuance of a reprimand and warning to the parolee.

(b)  That the parolee be required to conform to one or more additional conditions of parole which may be imposed in accordance with R.S. 15:574.4.

(c)  That the parolee be arrested, and upon arrest be given a prerevocation hearing within a reasonable time, at or reasonably near the place of the alleged parole violation or arrest, to determine whether there is probable cause to detain the parolee pending orders of the parole board.

(2)  Upon receiving a summary of the prerevocation proceeding, the board may order the following:

(a)  The parolee's return to the physical custody of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, corrections services, to await a hearing to determine whether his parole should be revoked.

(b)  As an alternative to revocation, that the parolee, as a condition of parole, be committed to a community rehabilitation center or a substance abuse treatment program operated by, or under contract with, the department, for a period of time not to exceed six months, without benefit of good time, provided that such commitment does not extend the period of parole beyond the full parole term.  Upon written request of the department that the offender be removed for violations of the rules or regulations of the community rehabilitation center or substance abuse program, the board shall order that the parole be revoked, with credit for time served in the community rehabilitation center.
