A. After a minimum of 18 months supervised parole and upon the recommendation of the Division of Probation and Parole, the committee may determine that a parolee merits unsupervised parole and may suspend a parolee's supervision.

1. A parole officer may recommend that an inmate be placed in suspended status if the offender inmate meets the following criteria:
a. completed a minimum of 18 months of supervision;

b. be a first or second felony offender;

c. score a "minimum" risk on the DOC Risk Needs Assessment Tool;

d. completed all special conditions ordered by the sentencing judge and/or committee;

e. remained conviction free (excludes minor traffic and local municipal statutes) for the period of supervision and has no pending criminal matters;

f. is a non-DWI case;

g. is free of any conviction, deferred adjudication withheld for a sex offense as defined is R.S. 15:541;

h. is a current non-violent offender (a prior violent offense does not rule out the recommendation for suspended status if the current case meets eligibility requirements);

i. A temporary exception may be made to Subparagraph A.1.h for a parole case with a current violent offense who has been displaced to another state due to an emergency situation (i.e., hurricane or other natural disaster).

B. A parolee in suspended status may be subject to revocation for parole violations committed prior to the expiration of his full term discharge date. The parolee may be returned to maximum supervision any time prior to the expiration of his full-term discharge date if the Division of Probation and Parole makes a report showing that such supervision is in the interest of either the public or the parolee.
