Section 45-400-3 - Release(a) Release dates. (1) Any inmate who has been granted parole and has been assigned to a specific parole office may receive a release date when placement arrangements are completed and approved. (2) A specific release date may be designated by the board in order to comply with statutory parole eligibility or for any other special cause as determined on a case-by-case basis. Requests for advance release may be considered by the board for valid reasons, subject to investigation and confirmation by proper authorities. (3) If an inmate's release date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, or on a holiday observed by the department of corrections, the inmate may be released on the last workday before the computed release date. (b) Interstate compact release. Each inmate who has been granted parole for out-of-state supervision under an interstate compact agreement shall remain in confinement until the receiving state has entered its report with the compact administrator of the secretary, who shall refer it to the board for final determination and authorization of release. If the interstate compact agreement is disapproved, the decision to parole the inmate under the compact agreement shall be deemed void. A notice shall then be issued by the board advising the inmate that the interstate compact agreement has been disapproved and the inmate's parole suitability will be reconsidered at a scheduled parole hearing. (c) Changes in parole plan. Each inmate who is on continued status and who elects to change the parole plan shall present this information to the unit team, which shall forward it to the board for its approval and advice. (d) Release to detainer. (1) Each inmate who has been granted parole to a detainer only shall remain in confinement until sufficient arrangements have been made to determine when the detaining authority will assume custody. (2) Unless otherwise ordered by the board, a decision to parole an inmate to a detainer only shall be deemed void if the detainer is thereafter cancelled. A notice to the inmate shall be issued by the board stating that the detainer has been cancelled and the inmate's parole suitability will be reconsidered at a scheduled parole hearing. Kan. Admin.
