§571.5. Supervision upon release after diminution of sentence for good behavior; conditions
of release; revocation
A. When a prisoner committed to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections
is released because of diminution of sentence pursuant to this Part, he shall be released as if
released on parole.
B.(1) Before any prisoner is released on parole upon diminution of sentence, he shall
be issued a certificate of parole that enumerates the conditions of parole. These conditions
shall be explained to the prisoner and the prisoner shall agree in writing to such conditions
prior to his release on parole.
(2) For any prisoner released because of diminution of sentence pursuant to this Part
on or after August 1, 2020, the committee on parole may impose special conditions of
supervision which include participation in additional programming by the prisoner as
determined to be necessary by a validated risk-assessment tool approved by the department.
(3) The person released because of diminution of sentence pursuant to this Part shall
be supervised in the same manner and to the same extent as if he were released on parole.
The supervision shall be for the remainder of the original full term of sentence. If a person
released because of diminution of sentence pursuant to this Part violates a condition imposed
by the parole committee, the committee shall proceed in the same manner as it would to
revoke parole to determine if the release upon diminution of sentence should be revoked.
C. If such person's parole is revoked by the parole committee for violation of the
terms of parole, the person shall be recommitted to the department for the remainder of the
original full term.
