Compare and contrast the two basic models for administering parole
What will be an ideal response?
• Independent model – In the independent model, a parole board is responsible for making release and revocation determinations and for supervising persons released on parole (and good time); it is independent of any other state agency.
• Consolidated model – In the consolidated model, the parole board is an autonomous panel within a department that also administers correctional institutions. The board makes release and revocation decisions, but supervision of persons released on parole (and good time) is under the direction of the commissioner of corrections.
• In both models, probation services are sometimes combined with parole services in a single statewide agency.
