Section 17.11 - Parole Board Jurisdiction, Supervision, and Control

(1) A prisoner granted release under M.G.L. c. 127, § 119A, and 501 CMR 17.09 shall be under the jurisdiction, supervision and control of the Parole Board, as if the prisoner has been paroled pursuant to M.G.L. c. 127, § 130.

(2) Upon a favorable determination on the petition by the Commissioner, the Institutional Parole Officer/Transitional Parole Officer at the institution where the prisoner is held will generate a Medical Parole permit, which shall include the Parole Board's final terms and conditions of medical parole and apply through the date upon which the prisoner's sentence would have expired. The Parole Board may revise, alter, or amend the terms and conditions of a medical parole at any time.

(3) The Institutional Parole Officer/Transitional Parole Officer will notify the Field Parole Officer of the scheduled date of release of the prisoner on medical parole by the Commissioner. A Victim Services Coordinator at the Parole Board will contact victims and victims' families to provide notification of terms and conditions of release set by the Parole Board.

(4) A prisoner granted medical parole will be supervised in accordance with Parole Board policy. In the event that the conditions set by the Parole Board are inconsistent with existing Field Policies or Standard Operating Procedures concerning special conditions, the conditions for medical parole set by the Parole Board shall supersede those policies or procedures.

(5) A prisoner granted medical parole will not see the Parole Board for a traditional parole release hearing. A prisoner granted medical parole will only go before the Parole Board in the event of a revocation hearing.
