• Unless the BPT waives the parole period, inmates shall serve a period of parole as specified in PCPenal Code 3000(a) or (b).

• Pursuant to PCPenal Code 3000(a), an inmate subject to three or five year parole periods may not be retained under parole supervision for longer than four or seven years, respectively, except for periods of suspension.

• The maximum statutory period of parole shall be computed from the date of initial parole, or July 1, 1977, whichever is later, and shall be a period chronologically determined.

• Time during which parole is suspended because the parolee has absconded or has been returned to custody as a parole violator will not be credited toward the period of parole unless he/she is found not guilty of the parole violation.

• A period of return to custody for psychiatric treatment will not be added to the parole period unless so ordered by the BPT.

• Calculate the projected controlling discharge date (PCDD) of a PVRTCParole Violator Return To Custody eligible for PCPenal Code 2933 credit by adding the applicable parole period, the actual time projected to be served on the revocation period, and any suspension to the parole period.

• Calculate the controlling discharge date (CDDControlling Discharge Date) of a PVRTCParole Violator Return To Custody not eligible for PCPenal Code 2933 credit by adding the applicable parole period, the actual time served on the revocation period, and any suspension to the parole board.

  • In the event the maximum discharge date precedes the revocation release date, the inmate will be discharged from departmental custody on the maximum date.
