Release on parole and discharge; IC 35-50 offenders; eligibility for
offenders under other laws; reinstatement after revocation of
parole
Sec. 2. (a) Release on parole and discharge of an offender
sentenced for an offense under IC 35-50 shall be determined under
IC 35-50-6.
(b) Parole and discharge eligibility for offenders sentenced for
offenses under laws other than IC 35-50 is as follows:
(1) A person sentenced upon conviction of a felony to an
indeterminate term of imprisonment is eligible for consideration
for release on parole upon completion of his minimum term of
imprisonment, less the credit time he has earned with respect to
that term.
(2) A person sentenced upon conviction of a felony to a
determinate term of imprisonment is eligible for consideration
for release on parole upon completion of one-half (1/2) of his
determinate term of imprisonment or at the expiration of twenty
(20) years, whichever comes first, less the credit time he has
earned with respect to that term.
(3) A person sentenced upon conviction of first degree murder
or second degree murder to a term of life imprisonment is
eligible for consideration for release on parole upon completion
of twenty (20) years of time served on the sentence. A person
sentenced upon conviction of a felony other than first degree
murder or second degree murder to a term of life imprisonment
is eligible for consideration for release on parole upon
completion of fifteen (15) years of time served on the sentence.
A person sentenced upon conviction of more than one (1)
felony to more than one (1) term of life imprisonment is not
eligible for consideration for release on parole under this
section. A person sentenced to a term of life imprisonment does
not earn credit time with respect to that term.
(4) A person sentenced upon conviction of a misdemeanor is
not eligible for parole and shall, instead, be discharged upon
completion of his term of imprisonment, less the credit time he
has earned with respect to that term.
(c) A person whose parole is revoked may be reinstated on parole
by the parole board any time after the revocation, regardless of
whether the offender was sentenced under IC 35-50 or another law.
The parole board may adopt, under IC 4-22-2, rules and regulations
regarding eligibility for reinstatement.

Sec. 3. (a) A person sentenced under IC 35-50 shall be released on
parole or discharged from the person's term of imprisonment under
IC 35-50 without a parole release hearing.
(b) A person sentenced for an offense under laws other than
IC 35-50 who is eligible for release on parole, or a person whose
parole is revoked and is eligible for reinstatement on parole under
rules adopted by the parole board shall, before the date of the
person's parole eligibility, be granted a parole release hearing to
determine whether parole will be granted or denied. The hearing
shall be conducted by one (1) or more of the parole board members.
If one (1) or more of the members conduct the hearing on behalf of
the parole board, the final decision shall be rendered by the full
parole board based upon the record of the proceeding and the hearing
conductor's findings. Before the hearing, the parole board shall order
an investigation to include the collection and consideration of:
(1) reports regarding the person's medical, psychological,
educational, vocational, employment, economic, and social
condition and history;
(2) official reports of the person's history of criminality;
(3) reports of earlier parole or probation experiences;
(4) reports concerning the person's present commitment that are
relevant to the parole release determination;
(5) any relevant information submitted by or on behalf of the
person being considered; and
(6) such other relevant information concerning the person as
may be reasonably available.
(c) Unless the victim has requested in writing not to be notified,
the department shall notify a victim of a felony (or the next of kin of
the victim if the felony resulted in the death of the victim) or any
witness involved in the prosecution of an offender imprisoned for the
commission of a felony when the offender is:
(1) to be discharged from imprisonment;
(2) to be released on parole under IC 35-50-6-1;

program authorized by IC 11-10-1-3 or IC 35-38-3-6 and
requiring periodic reporting to a designated official,
including a regulated community assignment program.
(B) Assignment to a minimum security work release
program.
(d) The department shall make the notification required under
subsection (c):
(1) at least forty (40) days before a discharge, release, or
hearing occurs; and
(2) not later than twenty-four (24) hours after the escape of a
committed offender.
The department shall supply the information to a victim (or a next of
kin of a victim in the appropriate case) and a witness at the address
supplied to the department by the victim (or next of kin) or witness.
A victim (or next of kin) is responsible for supplying the department
with any change of address or telephone number of the victim (or
next of kin).
(e) The probation officer conducting the presentence investigation
shall inform the victim and witness described in subsection (c), at the
time of the interview with the victim or witness, of the right of the
victim or witness to receive notification from the department under
subsection (c). The probation department for the sentencing court
shall forward the most recent list of the addresses or telephone
numbers, or both, of victims to the department of correction. The
probation department shall supply the department with the
information required by this section as soon as possible but not later
than five (5) days from the receipt of the information from the
victim. A victim (or next of kin) is responsible for supplying the
department with the correct address and telephone number of the
victim (or next of kin).
(f) Notwithstanding IC 11-8-5-2 and IC 4-1-6, an inmate may not
have access to the name and address of a victim and a witness. Upon
the filing of a motion by any person requesting or objecting to the
release of victim information, witness information, or both that is
retained by the department, the court shall review the information
that is the subject of the motion in camera before ruling on the
motion.
(g) The notice required under subsection (c) must specify whether
the prisoner is being discharged, is being released on parole, is being
released on lifetime parole, is having a parole release hearing, is
having a parole violation hearing, or has escaped. The notice must
contain the following information:
(1) The name of the prisoner.
(2) The date of the offense.
(3) The date of the conviction.
(4) The felony of which the prisoner was convicted.
(5) The sentence imposed.
(6) The amount of time served.
(7) The date and location of the interview (if applicable).
(h) The parole board shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 and make
available to offenders the criteria considered in making parole
release determinations. The criteria must include the:
(1) nature and circumstances of the crime for which the
offender is committed;
(2) offender's prior criminal record;
(3) offender's conduct and attitude during the commitment; and
(4) offender's parole plan.
(i) The hearing prescribed by this section may be conducted in an
informal manner without regard to rules of evidence. In connection
with the hearing, however:
(1) reasonable, advance written notice, including the date, time,
and place of the hearing shall be provided to the person being
considered;
(2) the person being considered shall be given access, in accord
with IC 11-8-5, to records and reports considered by the parole
board in making its parole release decision;
(3) the person being considered may appear, speak in the
person's own behalf, and present documentary evidence;
(4) irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence shall
be excluded; and
(5) a record of the proceeding, to include the results of the
parole board's investigation, notice of the hearing, and evidence
adduced at the hearing, shall be made and preserved.
(j) If parole is denied, the parole board shall give the person
written notice of the denial and the reasons for the denial. The parole
board may not parole a person if it determines that there is
substantial reason to believe that the person:
(1) will engage in further specified criminal activity; or
(2) will not conform to appropriate specified conditions of
parole.
(k) If parole is denied, the parole board shall conduct another
parole release hearing not earlier than five (5) years after the date of
the hearing at which parole was denied. However, the board may
conduct a hearing earlier than five (5) years after denial of parole if
the board:
(1) finds that special circumstances exist for the holding of a
hearing; and
(2) gives reasonable notice to the person being considered for
parole.
(l) The parole board may parole a person who is outside Indiana
on a record made by the appropriate authorities of the jurisdiction in
which that person is imprisoned.
(m) If the board is considering the release on parole of an offender
who is serving a sentence of life in prison, a determinate term of
imprisonment of at least ten (10) years, or an indeterminate term of
imprisonment with a minimum term of at least ten (10) years, in
addition to the investigation required under subsection (b), except as
provided in subsection (n), the board may order and consider a
community investigation, which may include an investigation and
report that substantially reflects the attitudes and opinions of:
(1) the community in which the crime committed by the
offender occurred;
(2) law enforcement officers who have jurisdiction in the
community in which the crime occurred;
(3) the victim of the crime committed by the offender, or if the
victim is deceased or incompetent for any reason, the victim's
relatives or friends; and
(4) friends or relatives of the offender.
If the board reconsiders for release on parole an offender who was
previously released on parole and whose parole was revoked under
section 10 of this chapter, the board may use a community
investigation prepared for an earlier parole hearing to comply with
this subsection. However, the board shall accept and consider any
supplements or amendments to any previous statements from the
victim or the victim's relatives or friends.
(n) The board shall conduct the community investigation
described in subsection (m) if:
(1) the person was convicted of a crime of violence (as defined
in IC 35-50-1-2); or
(2) the person is a sex offender (as defined in IC 11-8-8-4.5).
(o) As used in this section, "victim" means a person who has
suffered direct harm as a result of a violent crime (as defined in
IC 5-2-6.1-8).

Parole conditions; expenses
Sec. 4. (a) A condition to remaining on parole is that the parolee
not commit a crime during the period of parole.
(b) The parole board may also adopt, under IC 4-22-2, additional
conditions to remaining on parole and require a parolee to satisfy one
(1) or more of these conditions. These conditions must be reasonably
related to the parolee's successful reintegration into the community
and not unduly restrictive of a fundamental right.
(c) If a person is released on parole, the parolee shall be given a
written statement of the conditions of parole. Signed copies of this
statement shall be:
(1) retained by the parolee;
(2) forwarded to any person charged with the parolee's
supervision; and
(3) placed in the parolee's master file.
(d) The parole board may modify parole conditions if the parolee

modification. This subsection does not apply to modification of
parole conditions after a revocation proceeding under section 10 of
this chapter.
(e) As a condition of parole, the parole board may require the
parolee to reside in a particular parole area. In determining a
parolee's residence requirement, the parole board shall:
(1) consider:
(A) the residence of the parolee prior to the parolee's
incarceration; and
(B) the parolee's place of employment; and
(2) assign the parolee to reside in the county where the parolee
resided prior to the parolee's incarceration unless assignment on
this basis would be detrimental to the parolee's successful
reintegration into the community.
(f) As a condition of parole, the parole board may require the
parolee to:
(1) periodically undergo a laboratory chemical test (as defined
in IC 14-15-8-1) or series of tests to detect and confirm the
presence of a controlled substance (as defined in IC 35-48-1-9);
and
(2) have the results of any test under this subsection reported to
the parole board by the laboratory.
The parolee is responsible for any charges resulting from a test
required under this subsection. However, a person's parole may not
be revoked on the basis of the person's inability to pay for a test
under this subsection.
(g) As a condition of parole, the parole board:
(1) may require a parolee who is a sex offender (as defined in
IC 11-8-8-4.5) to:

within one thousand (1,000) feet of school property (as
defined in IC 35-41-1-24.7) for the period of parole, unless
the sex offender obtains written approval from the parole
board;
(C) prohibit a parolee who is a sex offender convicted of a
sex offense (as defined in IC 35-38-2-2.5) from residing
within one (1) mile of the victim of the sex offender's sex
offense unless the sex offender obtains a waiver under
IC 35-38-2-2.5;
(D) prohibit a parolee who is a sex offender from owning,
operating, managing, being employed by, or volunteering at
any attraction designed to be primarily enjoyed by children
less than sixteen (16) years of age;
(E) require a parolee who is a sex offender to consent:
(i) to the search of the sex offender's personal computer at
any time; and
(ii) to the installation on the sex offender's personal
computer or device with Internet capability, at the sex
offender's expense, of one (1) or more hardware or
software systems to monitor Internet usage; and
(F) prohibit the sex offender from:
(i) accessing or using certain web sites, chat rooms, or
instant messaging programs frequented by children; and
(ii) deleting, erasing, or tampering with information on the
sex offender's personal computer with intent to conceal an
activity prohibited by item (i).
The parole board may not grant a sexually violent predator (as
defined in IC 35-38-1-7.5) or a sex offender who is an offender
against children under IC 35-42-4-11 a waiver under subdivision
(2)(B) or (2)(C). If the parole board allows the sex offender to reside
within one thousand (1,000) feet of school property under
subdivision (2)(B), the parole board shall notify each school within
one thousand (1,000) feet of the sex offender's residence of the order.
(h) The address of the victim of a parolee who is a sex offender
convicted of a sex offense (as defined in IC 35-38-2-2.5) is
confidential, even if the sex offender obtains a waiver under
IC 35-38-2-2.5.
(i) As a condition of parole, the parole board may require a
parolee to participate in a reentry court program.
(j) As a condition of parole, the parole board:
(1) shall require a parolee who is a sexually violent predator
under IC 35-38-1-7.5; and
(2) may require a parolee who is a sex or violent offender (as
defined in IC 11-8-8-5);
to wear a monitoring device (as described in IC 35-38-2.5-3) that can
transmit information twenty-four (24) hours each day regarding a
person's precise location.
(k) As a condition of parole, the parole board may prohibit, in
accordance with IC 35-38-2-2.6, a parolee who has been convicted
of stalking from residing within one thousand (1,000) feet of the
residence of the victim of the stalking for a period that does not
exceed five (5) years.
(l) As a condition of parole, the parole board may prohibit a
parolee convicted of an offense under IC 35-46-3 from owning,
harboring, or training an animal, and, if the parole board prohibits a
parolee convicted of an offense under IC 35-46-3 from having direct
or indirect contact with an individual, the parole board may also
prohibit the parolee from having direct or indirect contact with any
animal belonging to the individual.
(m) A parolee may be responsible for the reasonable expenses, as
determined by the department, of the parolee's participation in a
treatment or other program required as a condition of parole under
this section. However, a person's parole may not be revoked solely
on the basis of the person's inability to pay for a program required as
a condition of parole under this section.

Violation of parole; procedures
Sec. 8. (a) If an employee of the department assigned to supervise
and assist parolees believes that a parolee has violated a condition to
remaining on parole, he may submit a written report of the violation
to the parole board. After considering the report and making any
further investigation it considers appropriate, the parole board may:

absence of the chairman) may issue an order for the parolee to appear
for a revocation hearing on the alleged violation.
(c) Upon a showing of probable cause to believe the parolee
violated a condition to remaining on parole, the chairman (or a
member of the parole board designated by the chairman to act in the
absence of the chairman) may issue a warrant for the arrest and
confinement of the parolee pending a preliminary hearing. An
employee of the department or any person authorized to execute
warrants may execute the warrant.
(d) Upon a showing of probable cause to believe that an alleged
parole violator has fled the state, the chairman (or a member of the
parole board who is designated by the chairman to act in the absence
of the chairman) may:
(1) issue a warrant for the arrest and confinement of the
parolee; and
(2) order that the parolee be returned to the state;
to ensure the appearance of the parolee at a parole revocation
hearing.
(e) If the parole board issues an order, under subsection (b), for
the parolee to appear for a revocation hearing, the parolee shall be
given written notice of:
(1) the date, time, and place of the hearing;
(2) the condition alleged to have been violated;

(4) his right to a revocation hearing and the procedures and
rights applicable to that hearing if probable cause is found to
exist; and
(5) the possible sanctions if a violation is found at a revocation
hearing.
(g) The issuance of an order to appear or arrest warrant under this
section tolls the period of parole until the parole board's final
determination of the charge. However, the tolled period shall be
restored if there is a finding of no violation, if a finding of a violation
is later overturned, or if the parole violation charge is dismissed.

Preliminary hearing
Sec. 9. (a) Upon the arrest and confinement of a parolee for an
alleged violation of a condition to remaining on parole, an employee
of the department (other than the employee who reported or
investigated the alleged violation or who recommended revocation)
shall hold a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is
probable cause to believe a violation of a condition has occurred. The
hearing shall be held without unneccessary delay. In connection with
the hearing, the parolee is entitled to:
(1) appear and speak in his own behalf;
(2) call witnesses and present evidence;
(3) confront and cross-examine witnesses, unless the person
conducting the hearing finds that to do so would subject the
witness to a substantial risk of harm; and
(4) a written statement of the findings of fact and the evidence
relied upon.
(b) If it is determined there is not probable cause to believe the
parolee violated a condition to remaining on parole, the charge shall
be dismissed.
(c) If it is determined from the evidence presented that there is
probable cause to believe the parolee violated a condition to
remaining on parole, confinement of the parolee may be continued
pending a parole revocation hearing.
(d) If the alleged violation of parole is the parolee's conviction of
a crime while on parole, the preliminary hearing required by this
section need not be held.
(e) Unless good cause for the delay is established in the record of
the proceeding, the parole revocation charge shall be dismissed if the
preliminary hearing is not held within ten (10) days after the arrest.
(f) A parolee may waive his right to a preliminary hearing.

follows:
(1) A parolee who is confined due to an alleged violation of
parole shall be afforded a parole revocation hearing within sixty
(60) days after the parolee is made available to the department
by a jail or state correctional facility, if:
(A) there has been a final determination of any criminal
charges against the parolee; or
(B) there has been a final resolution of any other detainers
filed by any other jurisdiction against the parolee.

revocation hearing within one hundred eighty (180) days after
the earlier of:
(A) the date an order was issued for the parolee's appearance
at a parole revocation hearing; or
(B) the date of the parolee's arrest on the parole violation
warrant.
The revocation hearing shall be conducted by at least one (1)
member of the parole board, and the purpose of the hearing is to
determine whether a violation of a condition to remaining on parole
has occurred and, if so, the appropriate action. In connection with the
hearing, the parolee is entitled to those procedural safeguards
enumerated in section 9(a) of this chapter. The parolee may offer
evidence in mitigation of the alleged violation.
(b) If it is determined from the evidence presented that the parolee
did not commit a parole violation, the charge shall be dismissed.
(c) If it is determined that the parolee did violate parole, the
parole board may continue parole, with or without modifying the
conditions, or revoke the parole and order the parolee imprisoned on
either a continuous or intermittent basis. If, however, the violation is
the commission of a new felony, the parole board shall revoke the
parole and order continuous imprisonment.
(d) The parolee shall be provided with a written statement of the
reasons for the action taken under subsection (c).
(e) Unless good cause for the delay is established in the record of
the proceeding, the parole revocation charge shall be dismissed if the
revocation hearing is not held within the time established by
subsection (a).
