Chapter 6 – Adult Classification

61010.8.3 When to use the CDC Form 841

• The CDC Form 841 is prepared when an inmate’s parole status has been revoked, the inmate has been returned from parole to a reception center, and the parole period has been suspended. A CDC Form 841 shall also be completed for an inmate whose parole is lawfully revoked because he/she refused to sign conditions of parole. If the inmate is not physically paroled to the community, the inmate’s status shows that he/she has been paroled, revoked, and returned the same day.

• A CDC Form 841 shall not be completed for any of the following cases:

  • An inmate returned to the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, but then Continued On Parole (COPContinue On Parole) by the BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms).

  • A parolee who was revoked by the BPHBoard of Parole Hearings (formerly Board of Prison Terms), but not returned to the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

  • An inmate who has been returned to the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from parole, but is still considered a “parolee.” Examples of these situations are a SATCU case returned for drug treatment/”dry out” or an inmate returned for “psych treatment” only. In these types of situations, the inmate’s parole period continues uninterrupted.

• Refer to DOMDepartment Operations Manual § 61020.20 for instructions to complete the CDC Form 841.
