House of Delegates
Messages from the Senate
A message from the Senate, by
The Clerk of the Senate, announced that the Senate had passed, with amendment, to take
effect from passage, a bill of the House of Delegates, as follows:
H. B. 2001, Providing that inmates serving life sentences shall be considered for parole only
once every three years.
On motion of Delegate Boggs, the bill was taken up for immediate consideration.
The following Senate amendments were reported by the Clerk:
On page one, by striking out everything after the enacting clause and inserting in lieu thereof
the following:
"
ARTICLE 12. PROBATION AND PAROLE.
§62-12-13. Powers and duties of board; eligibility for parole; procedure for granting parole.
(a) The board of parole, whenever it is of the opinion that the best interests of the state and
of the inmate will be served, and subject to the limitations hereinafter provided, shall release any
inmate on parole for terms and upon conditions as are provided by this article.
(b) Any inmate of a state correctional center is eligible for parole if he or she:
(1)(A) Has served the minimum term of his or her indeterminate sentence or has served one
fourth of his or her definite term sentence, as the case may be; or
(B) He or she:
(i) Has applied for and been accepted by the Commissioner of Corrections into an accelerated
parole program;
(ii) Does not have a prior criminal conviction for a felony crime of violence against the
person, a felony offense involving the use of a firearm, or a felony offense where the victim was a minor child;
(iii) Has no record of institutional disciplinary rule violations for a period of one hundred
twenty days prior to parole consideration unless the requirement is waived by the commissioner;
(iv) Is not serving a sentence for a crime of violence against the person, or more than one
felony for a controlled substance offense for which the inmate is serving a consecutive sentence, a
felony offense involving the use of a firearm, or a felony offence where the victim was a minor child;
and
(v) Has successfully completed a rehabilitation treatment program created with the assistance
of a standardized risk and needs assessment.
(I) As used in this
paragraph section 'felony crime of violence against the person' means
felony offenses set forth in articles two, three-e, eight-b or eight-d of chapter sixty-one of this code;
and
(II) As used in this
paragraph section 'felony offense where the victim was a minor child'
means any felony crime of violence against the person and any felony violation set forth in article
eight, eight-a, eight-c or eight-d of chapter sixty-one of this code.
(C) Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, any person who committed,
or attempted to commit a felony with the use, presentment or brandishing of a firearm, is not eligible
for parole prior to serving a minimum of three years of his or her sentence or the maximum sentence
imposed by the court, whichever is less:
Provided, That any person who committed, or attempted
to commit, any violation of section twelve, article two, chapter sixty-one of this code, with the use,
presentment or brandishing of a firearm, is not eligible for parole prior to serving a minimum of five
years of his or her sentence or one third of his or her definite term sentence, whichever is greater. Nothing in this
section paragraph applies to an accessory before the fact or a principal in the second
degree who has been convicted as if he or she were a principal in the first degree if, in the
commission of or in the attempted commission of the felony, only the principal in the first degree
used, presented or brandished a firearm. A person is not ineligible for parole under the provisions
of this
subdivision paragraph because of the commission or attempted commission of a felony with
the use, presentment or brandishing of a firearm unless that fact is clearly stated and included in the
indictment or presentment by which the person was charged and was either: (i) Found by the court
at the time of trial upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere; or (ii) found by the jury, upon submitting
to the jury a special interrogatory for such purpose if the matter was tried before a jury; (iii) found
by the court, if the matter was tried by the court without a jury.
For the purpose of this section, the term 'firearm' means any instrument which will, or is
designed to, or may readily be converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive,
gunpowder or any other similar means.
(D) The amendments to this subsection adopted in the year 1981:
(i) Apply to all applicable offenses occurring on or after August 1 of that year;
(ii) Apply with respect to the contents of any indictment or presentment returned on or after
August 1 of that year irrespective of when the offense occurred;
(iii) Apply with respect to the submission of a special interrogatory to the jury and the finding
to be made thereon in any case submitted to the jury on or after August 1 of that year or to the
requisite findings of the court upon a plea of guilty or in any case tried without a jury:
Provided,
That the state gives notice in writing of its intent to seek such finding by the jury or court, as the case
may be, which notice shall state with particularity the grounds upon which the finding will be sought as fully as such grounds are otherwise required to be stated in an indictment, unless the grounds
therefor are alleged in the indictment or presentment upon which the matter is being tried; and
(iv) Does not apply with respect to cases not affected by the amendments and in such cases
the prior provisions of this section apply and are construed without reference to the amendments.
(1) Insofar as the amendments relate to mandatory sentences restricting the eligibility for
parole, all matters requiring a mandatory sentence shall be proved beyond a reasonable doubt in all
cases tried by the jury or the court;
(2) Is not in punitive segregation or administrative segregation as a result of disciplinary
action;
(3) Has maintained a record of good conduct in prison for a period of at least three months
immediately preceding the date of his or her release on parole;
(4) Has prepared and submitted to the board a written parole release plan setting forth
proposed plans for his or her place of residence, employment and, if appropriate, his or her plans
regarding education and post-release counseling and treatment. The Commissioner of Corrections
or his or her designee shall review the plan to be reviewed and investigated and provide
recommendations to the board as to the suitability of the plan:
Provided, That in cases in which
there is a mandatory thirty-day notification period required prior to the release of the inmate,
pursuant to section twenty-three of this article, the board may conduct an initial interview and deny
parole without requiring the development of a plan. In the event the board does not believe parole
should be denied, it may defer a final decision pending completion of an investigation and receipt
of recommendations. Upon receipt of the plan together with the investigation and recommendation,
the board, through a panel, shall make a final decision regarding the granting or denial of parole; and
(5) Has satisfied the board that if released on parole he or she will not constitute a danger to
the community.
(c) Except in the case of a person serving a life sentence, no person who has been previously
twice convicted of a felony may be released on parole until he or she has served the minimum term
provided by law for the crime for which he or she was convicted. A person sentenced for life may
not be paroled until he or she has served ten years, and a person sentenced for life who has been
previously twice convicted of a felony may not be paroled until he or she has served fifteen years:
Provided, That a person convicted of first degree murder for an offense committed on or after June
10, 1994, is not eligible for parole until he or she has served fifteen years.
(d) In the case of a person sentenced to any state correctional center, it is the duty of the
board, as soon as a person becomes eligible, to consider the advisability of his or her release on
parole.
(e) If, upon consideration, parole is denied, the board shall promptly notify the inmate of the
denial. The board shall, at the time of denial, notify the
person inmate of the month and year he or
she may apply for reconsideration and review. The board shall at least once a year reconsider and
review the case of every inmate who was denied parole and is still eligible
: Provided, That the board
may reconsider and review parole eligibility anytime within three years following the denial of parole
of an inmate serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole: Provided, however, That any
person convicted prior to July 10, 1997, or from January 1, 2011, to the effective date of the
amendment to this section enacted by the Legislature during the 2011 regular session, of any offense
for which he or she received a life sentence with the possibility of parole shall be entitled to an
annual review and reconsideration after an initial denial of parole unless the board makes a case-specific individualized determination with written findings as to why there will be no detriment or
disadvantage to the person if reconsideration for parole is extended: Provided further, That under
no circumstances shall such extension be more than three years: And provided further, That any
inmate receiving a review period of more than one year shall be afforded the opportunity to submit
information for the board's consideration requesting review before the expiration of the extended
period.
(f) Any person serving a sentence on a felony conviction who becomes eligible for parole
consideration prior to being transferred to a state correctional center may make written application
for parole. The terms and conditions for parole consideration established by this article apply to such
inmates.
(g) The board shall, with the approval of the Governor, adopt rules governing the procedure
in the granting of parole. No provision of this article and none of the rules adopted hereunder are
intended or may be construed to contravene, limit or otherwise interfere with or affect the authority
of the Governor to grant pardons and reprieves, commute sentences, remit fines or otherwise exercise
his or her constitutional powers of executive clemency.
(h) The Division of Corrections shall promulgate policies and procedures for developing a
rehabilitation treatment plan created with the assistance of a standardized risk and needs assessment.
The policies and procedures shall include, but not be limited to, policy and procedures for screening
and selecting inmates for rehabilitation treatment and development and use of standardized risk and
needs assessment tools. An inmate shall not be paroled solely due to having successfully completed
a rehabilitation treatment plan but completion of all the requirements of a rehabilitation parole plan
along with compliance with the requirements of subsection (b) of this section shall create a rebuttable presumption that parole is appropriate. The presumption created by this subsection may
be rebutted by a Parole Board finding that at the time parole release is sought the inmate still
constitutes a reasonable risk to the safety or property of other persons if released. Nothing in
subsection (b) of this section or in this subsection may be construed to create a right to parole.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, the Parole Board may,
in its discretion, grant or deny parole to an inmate against whom a detainer is lodged by a jurisdiction
other than West Virginia for service of a sentence of incarceration, upon a written request for parole
from the inmate. A denial of parole under this subsection shall preclude consideration for a period
of one year or until the provisions of subsection (b) of this section are applicable.
(j) Where an inmate is otherwise eligible for parole pursuant to subsection (b) of this section
but the Parole Board determines that the inmate should participate in an additional program or
complete an assigned task or tasks prior to actual release on parole, the board may grant parole
contingently, effective upon successful completion of the program or assigned task or tasks, without
the need for a further hearing. The Commissioner of Corrections shall provide notice to the Parole
Board of the imminent release of a contingently paroled inmate to effectuate appropriate supervision.
(k) The Division of Corrections is charged with the duty of supervising all probationers and
parolees whose supervision may have been undertaken by this state by reason of any interstate
compact entered into pursuant to the uniform act for out-of-state parolee supervision.
(l)(1) When considering an inmate of a state correctional center for release on parole, the
Parole Board panel considering the parole is to have before it an authentic copy of or report on the
inmate's current criminal record as provided through the West Virginia State Police, the United
States Department of Justice or other reliable criminal information sources and written reports of the warden or superintendent of the state correctional center to which the inmate is sentenced:
(A) On the inmate's conduct record while in custody, including a detailed statement showing
any and all infractions of disciplinary rules by the inmate and the nature and extent of discipline
administered therefor;
(B) On improvement or other changes noted in the inmate's mental and moral condition
while in custody, including a statement expressive of the inmate's current attitude toward society in
general, toward the judge who sentenced him or her, toward the prosecuting attorney who prosecuted
him or her, toward the policeman or other officer who arrested the inmate and toward the crime for
which he or she is under sentence and his or her previous criminal record;
(C) On the inmate's industrial record while in custody which shall include: The nature of
his or her work, occupation or education, the average number of hours per day he or she has been
employed or in class while in custody and a recommendation as to the nature and kinds of
employment which he or she is best fitted to perform and in which the inmate is most likely to
succeed when he or she leaves prison;
(D) On physical, mental and psychiatric examinations of the inmate conducted, insofar as
practicable, within the two months next preceding parole consideration by the board.
(2) The board panel considering the parole may waive the requirement of any report when
not available or not applicable as to any inmate considered for parole but, in every such case, shall
enter in the record thereof its reason for the waiver:
Provided, That in the case of an inmate who is
incarcerated because the inmate has been found guilty of, or has pleaded guilty to a felony under the
provisions of section twelve, article eight, chapter sixty-one of this code or under the provisions of
article eight-b or eight-c of said chapter, the board panel may not waive the report required by this subsection and the report is to include a study and diagnosis including an on-going treatment plan
requiring active participation in sexual abuse counseling at an approved mental health facility or
through some other approved program
: Provided, however, That nothing disclosed by the person
during the study or diagnosis may be made available to any law-enforcement agency, or other party
without that person's consent, or admissible in any court of this state, unless the information
disclosed indicates the intention or plans of the parolee to do harm to any person, animal, institution
or to property. Progress reports of outpatient treatment are to be made at least every six months to
the parole officer supervising the person. In addition, in such cases, the Parole Board shall inform
the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the person was convicted of the parole hearing and
shall request that the prosecuting attorney inform the Parole Board of the circumstances surrounding
a conviction or plea of guilty, plea bargaining and other background information that might be useful
in its deliberations.
(m) Before releasing any inmate on parole, the board of parole shall arrange for the inmate
to appear in person before a Parole Board panel and the panel may examine and interrogate him or
her on any matters pertaining to his or her parole, including reports before the board made pursuant
to the provisions hereof:
Provided, That an inmate may appear by video teleconference if the
members of the panel conducting the examination are able to contemporaneously see the inmate and
hear all of his or her remarks and if the inmate is able to contemporaneously see each of the members
of the panel conducting the examination and hear all of the members' remarks. The panel shall reach
its own written conclusions as to the desirability of releasing the inmate on parole and the majority
of the panel considering the release shall concur in the decision. The warden or superintendent shall
furnish all necessary assistance and cooperate to the fullest extent with the Parole Board. All information, records and reports received by the board are to be kept on permanent file.
(n) The board and its designated agents are at all times to have access to inmates imprisoned
in any state correctional center or in any jail in this state and may obtain any information or aid
necessary to the performance of its duties from other departments and agencies of the state or from
any political subdivision thereof.
(o) The board shall, if so requested by the Governor, investigate and consider all applications
for pardon, reprieve or commutation and shall make recommendation thereon to the Governor.
