In 1996, the United States Parole Commission initiated a pilot project in an effort to expedite the processing of parole violations not involving serious new felony offenses. Certain alleged parole violators were given the option of waiving the right to a revocation hearing, acknowledging responsibility for the charged violation, and accepting a specified revocation penalty determined by the Commission on the basis of the case record. The goal was to conserve time and resources while preserving the due process rights of the allege parole violator. In 1998, this procedure was incorporated into the Commission’s permanent regulations. This article examines the Commission’s development of, and experience with, an expedited revocation procedure. The expedited revocation procedure has proven to be an effective way of conserving agency resources. By handling a substantial number of parole violations through this procedure, the Commission has been able to devote more resources to conducting revocation hearings for cases with more serious violations and/or cases in which the alleged violation is contested.
