At the final parole revocation hearing, the charges are read and explained, and the offender is given the opportunity to admit or deny the charges and address any other issues relating to the charged violations or mitigating circumstances.
The evidence at a final parole revocation hearing is limited to the record made before the Administrative Law Judge at the preliminary revocation hearing, except that the Parole Board, in its discretion, may consider any new or different evidence submitted by the parolee in writing in advance of the final revocation hearing. In addition, an offender who has admitted the violations and waived the preliminary hearing may submit mitigating evidence, in writing, at or before the final hearing. No other evidence may be presented at the final revocation hearing unless the Parole Board, in its discretion grants an offender’s request for a special hearing to present new evidence that could not have been presented at the preliminary revocation hearing.
