Section 17.12 - Revocation of Medical Parole
(1) If a Field Parole Officer receives information that the prisoner failed to comply with a condition of the prisoner's medical parole, and the Field Parole Officer finds the violation does not constitute a technical violation as provided for in the Parole Board's Graduated Sanctions Policy, the Field Parole Officer shall obtain a warrant for immediate return to custody and pursue revocation proceedings. If a Field Parole Officer receives credible information that the terminal illness or permanent incapacitation has improved to the extent that the prisoner would no longer be eligible for medical parole under M.G.L. c. 127, § 119A, the Field Parole Officer shall obtain a warrant for immediate return to custody and pursue revocation proceedings.
(2) If, following the revocation proceeding, the Parole Board determines that the prisoner violated a condition of medical parole, or the terminal illness or permanent incapacitation has improved to the extent that the prisoner would no longer be eligible for medical parole, the prisoner shall resume serving the balance of the sentence with credit given only for the duration of the medical parole that was served in compliance with all terms and conditions of medical parole.
(3) Revocation of a prisoner's medical parole shall not preclude eligibility for medical parole in the future or for another form of release permitted by law.
