22 AAC 20.170. Decisions of the board

(a) After the parole interview conducted under 22 AAC 20.150, the board will make a decision as set out in 22 AAC 20.145.

(b) If the board believes information under consideration at the hearing might be significantly incorrect or incomplete, the board will, in its discretion, defer action on the application. Action might be deferred in order to allow the board or the department to obtain additional information, or to permit the applicant time to gather and present additional information.

(c) If a criminal charge is pending against the applicant, the board will, in its discretion, defer action until the final disposition of the charge.

(d) The board is not required to make any findings of fact or conclusions of law regarding any item or document in an applicant's file nor relate them to the board's release criteria.

(e) A parole applicant may not relitigate issues determined against the applicant in other forums, including disciplinary or other administrative hearings. The applicant may not relitigate a conviction of a crime handed down in a court of law.

(f) If the number of affirmative board member votes for a decision does not meet the requirements of AS 33.16.050 (c), the case will be continued to the next regularly scheduled hearing at the correctional facility where the applicant is housed.
