OAR 255-036-0020
Request for Review Prior to Release Hearing Date
(1)
Notwithstanding subsection 1 of OAR 255-036-0005 (Parole Consideration Hearings), an inmate sentenced as a dangerous offender under ORS 161.725 (Standards for sentencing of dangerous offenders) and 161.735 (Procedure for determining whether defendant dangerous) may request a parole consideration hearing prior to the earliest time the inmate is eligible for parole release. The Board may consider information presented by the inmate to determine whether the inmate is no longer dangerous or that even though dangerous, can be adequately controlled with supervision and mental health treatment which are available in the community.(2)
The Board shall review the request for a parole consideration hearing by administrative file pass.(3)
If the Board finds, based upon the request and the information therein, there is reasonable cause to believe the inmate is no longer dangerous or even though dangerous, can be adequately controlled with supervision and mental health treatment which are in fact available to the inmate, the Board shall order the documents required by ORS 144.228 (Periodic parole consideration hearings for dangerous offenders) and this division and conduct a parole consideration hearing as soon as reasonably convenient.(4)
If the Board finds there is not reasonable cause to believe the inmate is no longer dangerous or to believe that the inmate can be adequately controlled with supervision and mental health treatment that is available in the community, the Board will deny the request for an early parole consideration hearing, and review the inmate’s case at the originally scheduled parole consideration hearing pursuant to OAR 255-036-0005 (Parole Consideration Hearings)(1).
