Rule R671-311. Special Attention Hearings and Reviews.

As in effect on August 1, 2009

Table of Contents

R671-311-1. General.

In exceptional circumstances the board may adjust its prior decisions through a special attention review or hearing. This type of review or hearing may be used to adjust parole conditions, review board decisions, and grant relief when exceptional circumstances exist, or upon board initiative action. This process is initiated by the receipt of a written request explaining the special circumstances for which relief may be warranted. Exceptional circumstances may include, but are not limited to, illness of the offender requiring extensive medical attention, exceptional performance or progress in the institution, exceptional family circumstances, verified opportunity for employment and information that was not previously considered by the Board. The board may request the Department of Corrections to review and make a recommendation on requests not submitted by the Department.

Special Attention requests that are considered to be repetitive, frivolous or lacking in substantial merit may be placed in the offenders file without formal action or response.

R671-311-2. Special Attention Hearing.

A Special Attention Hearing will be convened or conducted when, in the opinion of the Board, a personal appearance is in the best interest to resolve the issue. Special Attention Hearings are open to the public, are hearings of record and the offender should receive 7 days notice of the purpose, place, date and time of the hearing.

R671-311-3. Special Attention Review.

A Special Attention Review will be processed administratively based on written reports supplied to the Board without the personal appearance of the offender.
