How Parole Works in Indiana

● Parole is the discretionary release of an offender from confinement, after he has served part of his sentence, under continuing State custody and supervision and under conditions which, if violated, permit his re-imprisonment. In Indiana, State and county offenders may be granted parole only by the Division Of Parole Services. The Division of Parole Services was established within the Indiana Department of Correction in the 1960’s severing its relationship with the State Welfare Department. Parole Services is charged with enhancing public safety by providing community based supervision and services for individuals through the use of evidence based practices as they transition from a Correctional Facility to Community Supervision. Parole Services Division operates out of ten district offices located across the State.

Parole Consideration

● An eligible offender serving a State felony or State misdemeanor sentence in the custody of the Department of Corrections (IDOC) is automatically considered for parole. No application is necessary. An offender serving consecutive county misdemeanor confinement sentencing exceeding 12 months is considered for parole if he has requested consideration.The division of parole services considers an offender for parole regardless of appeals or other legal action by the inmate or his representative. If the offender is not listed in the custody of the IDOC, he must request parole consideration. The Division Of Parole Services may decide not to consider paroling an offender serving a Indiana sentence in custody at an out-of-state or Federal prison or at a mental hospital when favorable action of the Division Of Parole Services would not result in the offender’s release from confinement.

Out-of-State Parole

● An inmate who wants to be paroled to another state should notify the Indiana division of parole services of his specific residence and employment plans, giving complete addresses. He may do this by informing the parole officer who interviews him for the Personal History Statement before his initial consideration or by writing directly to the Interstate Compact Office.

Parole Supervision

● When an inmate is paroled, he is placed under the supervision of a parole officer who explains the conditions of parole and prepares an individual case plan for that offender. The parole officer maintains frequent contact with the parolee through office meetings, and by visiting him at his home and job or in other settings such as treatment facilities. Supervision is the parole officer’s main duty. However, in addition to a surveillance role, the parole officer is a counselor who helps the parolee with any family, budget, or job-placement problems. The parole officer also refers the parolee to other community or government agencies as needed.If the parolee does not respond to supervision and violates parole conditions, the parole officer assumes the role of an enforcement officer. The officer submits a report on the parolee’s misconduct to the Field Services Division central office, which may initiate revocation procedures.

Conditions Of Parole

● A person released on parole must agree to obey all conditions listed on his parole certificate. Violation of any condition may result in arrest and parole revocation. The standard conditions of parole, which apply to all parolees, include following all instructions from the parole officer, gainfully working, abiding by all laws, remaining in Indiana, receiving permission to change address, paying any court-ordered child support, paying a parole supervision fee or victim compensation fee and, if applicable,paying restitution. Parolees may not own or use a gun or other deadly weapons.

Parole In Life Sentence Cases

● Parole-eligible offenders now serving a life sentence for a serious violent felony (murder, rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, armed robbery, or kidnapping) who were convicted between 1995 and June 30, 2006, will initially be considered for parole after serving 14 years. Those offenders who committed such crimes on or after July 1, 2006, will not be considered for parole until they have served 30 years. Most life-sentenced offenders convicted of serious violent felonies before 1995 were eligible for parole after seven years and have already received their initial parole consideration.

Supervision and Victim Compensation Fees

● In November 1984 the Division Of Parole Services began collecting a monthly supervision fee from every parolee with a supervision period of three months or longer. The money collected from parolees is deposited in the State treasury general fund.

● Beginning in September 1991 parolees serving for violent offenses began paying a monthly victim compensation fee, which goes to the Indiana Crime Victims Emergency Fund.

● Eligible parolees pay either the supervision fee or the victim compensation fee but not both.

● The Division Of Parole Services may exempt parolees who, due to certain disabilities, may be unable to remit such payments without extreme hardship on them or their families. They have the authority to change the amount of the supervision fee or victim compensation fee as long as it is uniform Statewide.

Arrest of Parolee

● When a parolee has reportedly violated a condition of his release, a Board warrant may be issued for his arrest. If the alleged violation is absconding from parole supervision or if the parolee is otherwise not available to the Board for a hearing, a temporary revocation order may be issued. This order suspends the running of the sentence from the date of the order.
