| 03-31293 | Paroling, Recommitting, and Supervising Federal Prisoners: Prisoners Serving Sentences Under the United States and District of Columbia Codes | Rule | This interim rule is designed to provide a fair and expeditious means of handling the case of an accused parole violator who is found to be mentally incompetent to proceed with a scheduled parole revocation hearing. Under the Commission's present rule, such a parolee is sent to the Bureau of Prisons for a mental health examination, with a report every six months, until the parolee regains sufficient competence to participate in a revocation hearing. This rule can result in the indefinite detention of the mentally incompetent parolee, without any provision for bringing the revocation matter to resolution. The interim rule authorizes the Commission to conduct a revocation hearing notwithstanding the parolee's lack of mental competency, so long as the Commission obtains a current mental health report, ensures that the parolee has counsel to present a defense, and takes the parolee's mental condition into account in its determination. | 2003-12-19 | 2003 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/12/19/03-31293/paroling-recommitting-and-supervising-federal-prisoners-prisoners-serving-sentences-under-the-united | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-12-19/pdf/03-31293.pdf | Justice Department; Parole Commission | 268,401 | This interim rule is designed to provide a fair and expeditious means of handling the case of an accused parole violator who is found to be mentally incompetent to proceed with a scheduled parole revocation hearing.
