Sec. 3. (a) In determining whether parole will be granted or denied to an offender who is eligible for release on parole, the department shall afford the offender before that determination:
(1) reasonable, advance written notice of the fact that he is being considered for release on parole;
(2) access, in accord with IC 11-8-5, to records and reports to be considered by the department in making the parole release decision; and
(3) an opportunity to appear before the person or persons making the determination, speak in his own behalf, and present documentary evidence.
(b) If parole is denied, the department shall give the offender written notice of the denial and the reasons for the denial. No offender may be denied parole solely on the basis that appropriate living quarters are unavailable in the community to which he will return.
(c) The department may parole an offender who is outside Indiana on a record made by the appropriate authorities of the jurisdiction in which he is confined.
(d) When an offender is released on parole he shall be given a written statement of any conditions imposed by the department. Signed copies of this statement shall be forwarded to any person charged with his supervision and retained by the department.
As added by Acts 1979, P.L.120, SEC.6.
