Mission:
The Parole Board identifies those parole eligible offenders for whom there is sufficient indication that confinement has served its purpose and sets the conditions of parole; provides transitional planning, supervision, and assistance to the offender and direction to services that promote responsible conduct; enforces compliance with parole conditions through the timely application of a graduated scale of sanctions including a return to confinement; develops partnerships with federal, state, county and non-profit organizations in an effort to provide a continuum of risk reduction programming to offenders that reduces recidivism, maximizes resources, eliminates duplication and demonstrates fiscal responsibility; strives to understand the concerns of victims and the general public, and gives full consideration to these concerns when setting policy and making parole decisions.
