CRIMINAL LAWAND PROCEDURE
362
(C) the person is not a sex offender (as
defined in IC 11-8-8-4.5); and
(D) in the six (6) months before being
placed on parole, the person has not
violated a rule of the department of
correction or a rule of the penal facil-
ity in which the person is imprisoned;
(2) discharged upon a finding by the com-
mitting court that the person was assigned
to a community transition program and
may be discharged without the require-
ment of parole; or
(3) released to the committing court if the
sentence included a period of probation.
A person described in subdivision (1) shall be
released on parole for not more than twelve (12)
months, as determined by the parole board.
(b) This subsection does not apply to a person
described in subsection (d), (e), or (f). A person
released on parole remains on parole from the
date of release until the person’s fixed term expires,
unless the person’s parole is revoked or the per-
son is discharged from that term by the parole
board. In any event, if the person’s parole is not
revoked, the parole board shall discharge the per-
son after the period set under subsection (a) or the
expiration of the person’s fixed term, whichever
is shorter.
(c) A person whose parole is revoked shall
be imprisoned for all or part of the remainder of
the person’s fixed term. However, the person
shall again be released on parole when the person
completes that remainder, less the credit time the
person has earned since the revocation. The
parole board may reinstate the person on parole at
any time after the revocation.
(d) This subsection does not apply to a person
who is a sexually violent predator under IC 35-38-
1-7.5. When a sex offender (as defined in IC 11-
8-8-4.5) completes the sex offender’s fixed term
of imprisonment, less credit time earned with
respect to that term, the sex offender shall be
placed on parole for not more than ten (10) years.
(e) The subsection applies to a person who:
(1) is a sexually violent predator under IC
35-38-1-7.5;
(2) has been convicted of murder (IC 35-
42-1-1); or
(3) has been convicted of voluntary
manslaughter (IC 35-42-1-3).
When a person described in this subsection com-
pletes the person’s fixed term of imprisonment,
less credit time earned with respect to that term,
the person shall be placed on parole for the remain-
der of the person’s life.
(f) This subsection applies to a parolee in
another jurisdiction who is a person described in
subsection (e) and whose parole supervision is
transferred to Indiana from another jurisdiction.
In accordance with IC 11-13-4-1(2) (Interstate
Compact for Out-of-State Probationers and
Parolees) and rules adopted under Article VII
(d)(8) of the Interstate Compact forAdult Offender
Supervision (IC 11-13-4.5), a parolee who is a per-
son described in subsection (e) and whose parole
supervision is transferred to Indiana is subject to
the same conditions of parole as a person described
in subsection (e) who was convicted in Indiana,
including:
(1) lifetime parole (as described in sub-
section (e)); and
(2) the requirement that the person wear a
monitoring device (as described in IC 35-
38-2.5-3) that can transmit information
twenty-four (24) hours each day regarding
a person’s precise location, if applicable.
(g) If a person being supervised on lifetime
parole as described in subsection (e) is also
required to be supervised by a court, a probation
department, a community corrections program, a
community transition program, or another simi-
lar program upon the person’s release from impris-
onment, the parole board may:
(1) supervise the person while the person
is being supervised by the other supervis-
ing agency; or
(2) permit the other supervising agency to
exercise all or part of the parole board’s
supervisory responsibility during the period
in which the other supervising agency is
required to supervise the person, if super-
vision by the other supervising agency
will be, in the opinion of the parole board:
(A) at least as stringent; and
