§ 144.123 Who may accompany person to parole hearing; rules

When someone in custody goes before the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision for a hearing, they have the right to bring another person with them. This person can be someone the adult in custody picks, like a family member, friend, or supporter.

The Board and the Department of Corrections work together to set up rules for how this works in practice. These rules cover details like who can qualify to come along and how the process runs. So while the law guarantees the right to have someone there, the specific steps for making that happen come from the joint rules set by these two agencies.
