Title 22 . Department of Corrections
Chapter 20 . Sex Offender Treatment Providers
Section 465. Witnesses

22 AAC 20.465. Witnesses

(a) If the parolee is represented by an attorney at a preliminary revocation hearing, it is the responsibility of the attorney to arrange for the appearance of witnesses. If an incarcerated parolee is not represented by an attorney, institutional staff shall give the parolee reasonable opportunity to make contacts necessary to assure the appearance of witnesses at the hearing.

(b) The parolee has the right to call witnesses who might have relevant information concerning the alleged violations. These persons may not be merely character witnesses. The parolee assumes the responsibility for the appearance of any witness at the parolee's request. The state may also call witnesses. All witnesses will be sworn, will testify under oath, and are subject to questioning by the board or hearing officer regarding anything that might be relevant to the parolee's case. Only one witness will be allowed in the hearing at a time. Subject to 22 AAC 20.102, a minor may be called as a witness.

(c) The parolee may cross-examine adverse witnesses testifying at the hearing unless the board or hearing officer determines that a witness might be subject to risk of harm if the witness's identity is disclosed. A witness determined to be subject to a risk of harm will be interviewed by the hearing officer or board in camera, and the board will provide the parolee with a summary of the information obtained with as much specificity as the circumstances allow. The state may cross-examine any witness appearing on behalf of the parolee. The hearing officer or board may question any witness.
