Activities of the West Virginia Board of Probation and Parole during July 1, 1980, to June 30, 1981, are discussed, and the general duties of the board are outlined. Numerous data tables are provided.
Abstract
The board held 832 parole interviews and granted 436 paroles, a 175-percent increase from the 1979-80 period. However, only 6 more revocation hearings were held, and 10 less revocations were instituted. Revision of methods mandated in part by court decisions has had a positive effect as reflected by these comparisons. The board plans to revise and update its rules, and regulations, and stated policies.
