Annotation

This report presents a statistical picture of New York's parole revocation cases during the 1981-82 fiscal year: the number of final hearings, resorted decisions, violators returned to prison, and the resons for their return.

Abstract

There were 2,997 final revocation hearings during the year. Hearing officers conducted 95 percent of the final hearings, and board members conducted the remaining 5 percent. In 96 percent of the cases, parole was revoked, and the violator was ordered returned to a State prison. Only 16 percent of these persons were returned because of a new felony conviction; the remaining 84 percent violated parole supervision conditions. Footnotes and tables are supplied.
