Section 13:96-4.1 - Violations of juvenile parole

(a) Whenever the juvenile parole officer has a reasonable belief that the juvenile parolee has violated the conditions of parole, the juvenile parole officer shall immediately provide remedial counseling to the juvenile parolee. If the juvenile parole officer believes the violation is of a serious or persistent nature, he or she shall promptly review the juvenile parolee's case with his or her supervisor. Such review shall include an assessment of whether the juvenile parolee's current behavior represents a risk to public safety, the juvenile parolee's current rehabilitative needs, and the course of action, if any, to recommend to the Director and to the Panel in response to a violation of a condition of parole.

(b) The response to a violation of a condition of parole shall be proportional to the risk to the community posed by the juvenile parolee's behavior and the severity of the violation. Responses may include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. An adjustment to the juvenile parolee's reporting status;

2. The imposition of any special condition(s) that will reduce the likelihood of the recurrence of criminal or delinquent behavior;

3. The imposition of a special condition, such as, but not limited to, assignment to and successful completion of:

i. An out-patient substance abuse treatment program or any other recommended treatment program;

ii. An electronic monitoring or other monitored release program;

iii. A day reporting center program;

iv. A residential community-based treatment program, only if it is necessary to protect the safety of the juvenile parolee; or

v. An educational, vocational, or employment program; or

4. The commencement of revocation proceedings.

(c) The Director, or his or her designee, shall forward requests for the imposition of a special condition in writing to the Panel, and the Panel shall respond in writing within three days.
