Sec. 13-22. Conditional parole and probation cases.

In lieu of pursuing a parole violation, state or federal parole authorities may require a parolee to participate in the Program for residential treatment as a condition of continued parole. The Program Administrator may screen and accept a parolee who meets Program criteria.

In specific cases, the federal court may require a probationer to participate in the Program for residential treatment as a condition of probation. The Program Administrator may screen and accept a probationer who meets Program criteria.

The Program Administrator must take appropriate steps to determine that the parolee and/or probationer is a resident of the Washington Metropolitan Area and meets the eligibility criteria in Section 13-14. The parolee's or probationer's participation in the Program must not exceed six 12 months. The parolee or probationer must be subject to the rules and guidelines of the Pre-Release Center. If the Program Administrator finds that the parolee or probationer should be withdrawn from the Pre-Release Center because of improper conduct or other appropriate reasons, the Program Administrator must release the parolee or probationer to the parole or probation agent and provide the agent a report of the individual's performance and conduct while at the Pre-Release Center.

The County may negotiate a contract each year with federal and state adult parole and probation authorities for reimbursement on a per diem basis to the County for providing community correctional services to a parolee or probationer.
