Code of Ethics
The members and staff of the Vermont Parole Board Shall:
Be professional and respectful to those involved in all matters that come before the Board, including the offender, victims and those who support or oppose an offender's release.
To the best of their ability, be prepared to hear all cases, which come before them and render decisions with integrity and accuracy.
Respect, value and appreciate the views, recommendations and decisions of fellow Board members and those of colleagues in the criminal justice system.
Strive, with fellow Board members and colleagues in the criminal justice system, to enhance the effectiveness of the parole and SCS hearing process.
Recognize that the Parole Board is a symbol of public trust, do their utmost to sustain that trust.

Eligibility for Parole Interview or Review Policy
It is the policy of the Vermont Parole Board to interview and consider all offenders eligible for parole in or before the month of their eligibility date as determined by the Vermont Department of Corrections based upon the applicable statutes. Initial interviews and subsequent interviews and reviews shall be conducted in accordance with applicable statutes and the following procedures. In the event that parole is granted, actual release shall not take place before parole agreements and any other documents required are signed, and the expiration of the inmate’s minimum sentence.

Victim Notification and Participation Policy
It is the policy of the Vermont Parole Board to treat victims and survivors with respect and sensitivity, and to ensure that those hurt by crime are informed about and involved in the Board’s activities.

Conduct of Proceedings Policy
It is the policy of the Vermont Parole Board to conduct proceedings as appropriate in all matters before it in a full, fair, open and impartial manner and in compliance with all applicable authority. A complete record shall be made of all proceedings conducted by the Board except those that take place in deliberative session.

Parole Policies
The Board deliberates and makes decisions based on information furnished to it by the Department of Corrections, offenders and their families, victims and their families, other interested citizens, and individuals who may have pertinent information for the Board.
The Board considers the following factors when making decisions concerning offenders eligible for parole:
Seriousness of the crime committed
Danger to the public
The offender's risk of re-offending
Any input given by the victim, including, but not limited to, the emotional damage done to the victims and the victim's family
The offender's parole plan - including housing, employment, need for community treatment and follow-up resources
Recommendation of the Department of Corrections

The Board may, according to policy, consider all pertinent information including the following factors:
History of prior criminal activity
Prior history on probation, parole, or another form of supervised release
Abuse of drugs or alcohol
Poor institutional adjustment
Success or failure of treatment
Attitude toward authority - before and during incarceration
Comments from the prosecutor's office, the Office of the Attorney's General's, the judiciary or other criminal justice agency
Education and job skills
Employment history
Emotional stability
Mental status - capacity and stability
History of deviant behavior
Official and community attitudes toward accepting an inmate back into the community
Other factors involved that relate to public safety or the offender's needs

Parole is granted only to those eligible offenders that the Board determines are capable of fulfilling the obligations of a law abiding citizen, and when there is a reasonable probability that the offender can be released without detriment to the community or to the offender, and the offender is willing and capable of fulfilling all obligations of a law abiding citizen. Parole shall be ordered for the best interest of the community and the offender, and shall not be considered a reduction of sentence or pardon. The decision to parole an offender may be rescinded before the parole agreement is signed by the offender.
All paroles shall be granted subject to general conditions of parole, and any additional special conditions that the Board may require, including restitution if the original sentence order requires restitution and specifies a dollar amount. Offenders convicted of (3) or more DUI offenses shall normally not be granted driving privileges while on parole. Special conditions for driving privileges may be granted to DUI3+ offenders in possession of a “Restricted Driving License” (Ignition Interlock System), or have completed the “Total Abstinence Program”, and been reinstated by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Parolees with a valid operator’s license may be granted special conditions to permit driving privileges pursuant to the process outlined in Chapter 12, Section IV Modifying Conditions of Parole. The offender shall agree to the general and special conditions in writing prior to the release on parole.
The Vermont Parole Board will provide written notice and direction to all parties affected when a decision is made to parole an offender and to provide a record of the act of the Board and direction as to the terms and conditions of the parole.
A parolee’s term of parole supervision shall end when they have completed their predetermined maximum term of parole supervision, if they have not absconded during the term of their parole. The Parole Board may terminate a parolee’s period of parole supervision before their predetermined maximum term of parole has expired pursuant to a hearing.
It is the policy of the Vermont Parole Board to provide timely, fair, and impartial hearings that comport with due process to those parolees who are, while on parole, alleged to have violated the terms and conditions of their parole, while protecting the public and the integrity of the parole system. The Board will accomplish this by making reasoned and rational violation decisions that are based upon good and sufficient information.

Supervised Community Sentences (SCS) Policies
It is the policy of the Vermont Parole Board to consider requests from persons under Supervised Community Supervision (SCS). Consideration will include review of any additions, deletions or modifications made by the Commissioner of the Department of Corrections to the conditions contained in his or her plan for SCS, or to consider all persons on SCS for release to parole at their minimum date. The Board also conducts SCS violation hearings in the event that an offender on SCS status has allegedly violated their conditions of SCS. The Vermont Parole Board will consider these matters in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this policy manual governing those persons who are sentenced to prison to the extent such procedures are consistent with the applicable law.
The Vermont Parole Board will provide timely, fair and impartial hearings that comport with due process to those SCS offenders who are alleged to have violated the terms and conditions of their SCS and to protect the public and the integrity of the SCS system by making reasoned and rational violation decisions that are based upon good and sufficient information.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

State probation and parole programs provide supervision and structured reintegration for individuals serving sentences outside of incarceration. Probation is an alternative to jail or prison, allowing individuals to serve their sentence in the community under supervision, while parole is the conditional release of an inmate from prison before completing their sentence, subject to compliance with strict terms. Both are managed by state agencies to ensure public safety and offender accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the difference between probation and parole?
    Probation is a court-ordered alternative to incarceration, allowing an offender to serve their sentence in the community under supervision. Parole is the supervised release of an inmate from prison before the completion of their sentence, granted by a parole board based on good behavior and rehabilitation efforts.

  2. Who qualifies for state probation?
    Probation is typically granted to individuals convicted of lower-level offenses who meet court-established eligibility criteria. Judges consider factors such as criminal history, the nature of the offense, and the likelihood of rehabilitation.

  3. Who determines if an inmate is granted parole?
    A state parole board reviews an inmate’s conduct, rehabilitation progress, and risk to public safety before deciding whether to grant parole. Victim impact statements and recommendations from correctional officials may also influence the decision.

  4. What are the conditions of probation and parole?
    Conditions vary but often include regular meetings with a supervising officer, employment or education requirements, travel restrictions, drug testing, community service, and avoiding further legal trouble.

  5. What happens if someone violates probation or parole?
    Consequences depend on the severity of the violation. Minor infractions may result in warnings or increased supervision, while serious violations, such as committing a new crime, can lead to revocation and incarceration.

  6. Can someone on probation or parole leave the state?
    Travel restrictions apply, and individuals must obtain prior approval from their supervising officer before leaving the state. Unauthorized travel may be considered a violation.

  7. Are probation and parole officers the same?
    While their roles are similar, probation officers supervise individuals sentenced to community supervision instead of incarceration, while parole officers monitor individuals released from prison. Both enforce compliance with court or parole board conditions.

  8. Do probationers and parolees have to pay fees?
    Yes, most states require probationers and parolees to pay supervision fees, which may cover drug testing, electronic monitoring, or rehabilitation programs. Fees vary by state and financial hardship exemptions may be available.

  9. Can probation or parole be shortened or terminated early?
    Some individuals may qualify for early termination based on good behavior, compliance with conditions, and completion of required programs. Judges or parole boards determine eligibility.

  10. What types of rehabilitation programs are available for probationers and parolees?
    Many states offer substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, vocational training, job placement assistance, and educational programs to support successful reintegration.

  11. What is an intensive supervision program (ISP)?
    Intensive Supervision Programs are stricter forms of probation or parole that require more frequent reporting, home visits, curfews, and electronic monitoring for high-risk individuals.

  12. Can someone on probation or parole vote?
    Voting rights vary by state. Some states allow individuals on probation or parole to vote, while others restore voting rights only after completing all sentence terms, including supervision.

  13. Is electronic monitoring required for all probationers and parolees?
    No, electronic monitoring is typically reserved for high-risk individuals or those under home detention, house arrest, or sex offender supervision.

  14. Can a probationer or parolee own a firearm?
    In most states, individuals on probation or parole are prohibited from possessing firearms. Violating this restriction can result in revocation and additional criminal charges.

  15. What support services are available for parolees after release?
    Many states provide reentry assistance, such as halfway houses, job training, housing support, and counseling services to help parolees transition successfully into society.

  16. How does a probation or parole officer monitor compliance?
    Officers conduct regular check-ins, home visits, drug tests, and employment verification, and may use GPS monitoring or curfews to ensure individuals comply with supervision conditions.
