Massachusetts H1813 aims to ensure fairness in parole by regulating the temporary custody of parolees.
Massachusetts H1813 amends the General Laws to establish stricter guidelines for the temporary custody of parolees. It mandates that a parole officer, with the consent of a supervisor, can issue a warrant for temporary custody if there is probable cause that a parolee has violated conditions, including unauthorized removal of a GPS device or contact with a crime victim. A hearing officer must hold a preliminary hearing within 15 days to determine if a violation occurred. The parole board can withdraw the warrant, but this does not affect subsequent warrants.
