Sec. 58b.
(1)The parole sanction certainty program is established within the department. By January 1, 2018, the department shall adopt a system of graduated sanctions for violations of conditions of parole for offenders supervised under the parole sanction certainty program. The graduated sanctions adopted under this section must utilize evidence-based practices that have been demonstrated to reduce recidivism and increase compliance with the conditions of parole based on the identified risk and needs of the supervised individual as determined by a validated risk and needs assessment. To the extent possible, the system of graduated sanctions must be uniform throughout the state for all parolees subject to parole sanction certainty supervision.
(2)Subject to subsection (3), the department shall, in consultation with the parole board, determine which offenders shall be placed in the community on parole under the parole sanction certainty program.
(3)The department shall implement the parole sanction certainty program created in subsection
(1)in at least the 5 counties in this state in which the greatest number of individuals convicted of criminal violations are sentenced to incarceration under the jurisdiction of the department, as determined by the department's annual statistical report. The department may implement the parole sanction certainty program in additional counties in this state.
(4)The department shall consult with and seek recommendations from local law enforcement agencies in the counties where the parole sanction certainty program is implemented, including the sheriff's departments, circuit courts, county prosecutor's offices, and community corrections programs in developing a plan for implementing the parole sanction certainty program in the county.
