3. Hearings Conducted by BPH The Board conducts 4 types of revocation hearings/reviews: –Return to Custody Assessment –Probable Cause Hearing –Revocation Hearing –Optional Waiver Review

4. Return to Custody Assessment The RTCA review is conducted when Parole staff have made a preliminary determination that a condition of parole has been violated and the appropriate disposition for the parolee is a return to custody. RTCA is similar to a District Attorney review and filing. This review is conducted in the DRU without the parolee present.

5. Probable Cause Hearing The PCH is intended to provide the parolee with an opportunity, soon after being placed in custody, to contest the pending charges and/or present evidence that continued incarceration is not necessary, even though the charges may be supported. A PCH is similar to a preliminary hearing and settlement conference. The parolee is afforded counsel at this step.

6. Revocation Hearing Although many steps and tasks are similar to the PCH, the revocation hearing is bifurcated. There is a fact finding phase and a disposition phase. A revocation hearing is similar to a trial.

7. Optional Waiver Review An Optional Waiver can only occur if the DA has filed charges on the offenses that occurred causing the violation. The parolee has the right to postpone the revocation hearing in order not to self incriminate. The OWR occurs when the parolee revokes his/her waiver. The OWR is similar to an abbreviated settlement conference. This option will probably disappear based upon the Courts’ will have jurisdiction over both the new charges and the revocation charges.
