Class Concept
This is professional level analyst work within the Parole Commission. The work typically involves analysis of post release supervision, misdemeanor and felony parole cases, and occasionally will work with mixed law cases. Work may involve DWI offenses. Work involves compiling information on inmates and making recommendations to the Parole Commission on the feasibility of granting parole or setting the conditions of post-release supervision. Employees are responsible for creating recommendations to the Parole Commission by utilizing a variety of reports and databases such as: crime version, socioeconomic data, criminal history, drug and alcohol history, medical and psychological reports from Prisons, court records from Administrative Office of the Courts, information and reports from Community Supervision staff, records and reports from the Department of Motor Vehicles, other criminal databases such as Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Automated Data Services (CJLEADS), and the NC General Statutes.
Employees are responsible for reviewing all pertinent data related to each case file and making their recommendation to the Parole Commission based upon public safety risk, nature and circumstance of the offense, behavior of the inmate while incarcerated, and consistent application of appropriate sentencing laws that were in affect when the offense was committed. Employees routinely answer letters and phone calls from offenders and their family members, victims and their family members, as well as attorneys and other interested parties. Employees may coordinate releases to other states when offenders are released as well as to other federal jurisdictions such as Immigration, depending upon the conditions of the release, and to other pending charges. Employees present their case recommendations and analysis to the Parole Commission, and make recommendations for the conditions of release.
