THIS PAPER POINTS OUT ASPECTS OF THE CALIFORNIA PAROLE ORDINANCE THAT COULD BE STREAMLINED TO MAXIMIZE ITS EFFICIENCY.
Abstract
PAROLEES MAY BE CHARGED WITH AND RETURNED TO PRISON FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA CONDITIONS OF PAROLE. THROUGH AN EXAMINATION OF THE USE OF 15 CONDITIONS OF PAROLE DURING A 1971-72 PAROLE VIOLATION REPORTING PERIOD, THIS STUDY FOUND THAT NINE OF THE CONDITIONS WERE NEVER OR RARELY CHARGED AS BEING VIOLATED IN REPORTS TO THE PAROLE BOARD, AND WHEN CHARGED, THEY WERE NEVER OR RARELY THE PRIMARY CHARGE RESULTING IN A PAROLE BOARD ORDER TO RETURN TO PRISON. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT THE NUMBER OF PAROLE CONDITIONS BE REDUCED TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: LAWS, ABSCONDING, VIOLENCE, ALCOHOL, AND DRUGS. (AUTHOR) MODIFIED)....BDS
