§ 144.395 Rerelease of persons whose parole has been revoked; rules

If someone's parole gets revoked, they don't automatically stay locked up forever. There's a process for letting them out again, and the parole board has to follow specific guidelines when deciding whether and when to do that.

The board doesn't get to make these decisions randomly or case by case without any standards. They have to create formal rules ahead of time, and those rules have to match the criteria already laid out in a separate law (ORS 144.780). This keeps the process consistent, so people whose parole is revoked know there's a set standard being applied to their situation rather than an arbitrary decision.

In short, this rule is about making sure the parole board has clear, official guidelines for deciding when someone can be released again after their parole was taken away.
