Alaska Administrative Code
Title 22 - Department of Corrections
Chapter 20 - Alaska Board of Parole
Article 16 - General Provisions
22 AAC 20.945 - Harmless error

(a) Failure of the board or a department employee to follow the regulations set out in this chapter does not invalidate an action by the board absent a showing of demonstrable prejudice by the prisoner/parolee, as determined by the board. Serving additional time in custody does not itself constitute demonstrable prejudice.

(b) A prisoner/parolee who makes a showing of demonstrable prejudice as set out in (a) of this section may request a special review of the case in accordance with 22 AAC 20.190. The board will, in its discretion, grant a special review if, when considering the record as a whole, it determines the prisoner/parolee suffered demonstrable prejudice.
