Where are the revocation hearings held?
Generally, revocation hearings are held after your return to a federal institution. Such institutional hearings are held within 90 days from the time you were taken into custody on the basis of the Commission’s warrant. If there are sufficient reasons to do so, the Commission may order your revocation hearing held in your own community or in the community where you were arrested. You will be entitled to such a hearing only if you deny that you violated any of the conditions of release and if you were not convicted of a crime while under supervision. If you request a local revocation hearing you must complete a form which will be provided to you for that purpose. There is a penalty for false answers on this form, and a denial of violation must be honestly made. Local revocation hearings are generally held within 60 days from the date the Regional Commissioner finds “probable cause” that you violated parole or mandatory release.
