(a) General. At the discharge review, the Division of Adult Parole Operations shall consider the supervised person's adjustment on parole and any other information relevant to determining whether the supervised person should be discharged or retained under parole supervision.

(b) In the event of a retention on parole, the supervised person shall be entitled to a review by the parole authority each year thereafter until the statutory maximum period of parole expires. In the event the Board of Parole Hearings (BPH) acts to retain parole, the parole agent shall complete subsequent annual reviews each year thereafter and forward the discharge review report to the BPH for discharge or retain consideration. Annual discharge reviews shall be performed as provided in section 3720 and as noted in this section.

(c) Criteria. Factors tending to indicate there is good cause to retain a supervised person on parole include:

(1) Commitment Offense. The supervised person was committed to prison for several offenses, for an offense involving weapons or great bodily harm, for an offense which was part of large scale criminal activity or for an offense which caused considerable concern in the local community.

(2) Parole Adjustment. While on parole, the supervised person has been involved in criminal activity even if that activity did not result in revocation of parole, has been using drugs, has been involved in gang activities, is currently undergoing criminal prosecution or is being investigated for possible prosecution.

(3) Placement Returns. The supervised person has been returned to custody for substance abuse or psychiatric treatment.

(4) Supervision Needed. The supervised person is in special need of continued supervision for the safety of the supervised person or of the public.
