The Board is required by law to consider the
following factors when considering parole:
* The nature and circumstances of the crime
for which the inmate was convicted, as
well as his/her entire criminal history,
including any juvenile arrests or
adjudications
* Information regarding the general
character and background of the inmate
* Notes on the sentencing hearing
testimony
* Emotional stability: physical, mental and
behavioral condition and history of the
inmate
* History of family violence
* Recommendation of the sentencing judge
and prosecuting attorney
* Input from the victim and the victim's
family
* Recommendation from the warden or
superintendent of the facility where the
inmate is incarcerated

Other requirements considered are the status
of program completion and the person's adjustment to prison. The Board looks at all misconducts,
but concentrates on those that occurred within
the past two years.
UNDERSTANDING THE BOARD ACTION
AND RELEASE PROCESS
The Board frequently clarifies the misunderstanding that the minimum sentence date is the
parole release date. Public perception is they are
one and the same. It is crucial that all incarcerated individuals in Pennsylvania understand the
minimum sentence date represents the minimum
amount of time a person must be incarcerated
under DOC's control; an inmate becomes eligible
for parole release after they have served their
minimum sentence.
Additionally, an inmate's family and friends
mistakenly believe after their loved one has been
granted parole, they are immediately released.
This is not the case as a positive Board Action triggers numerous other events that must take place
before the inmate is released on parole.
Dedicated team. Commitment to excellence.
