BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Honorable Sam Nunn

United States Senate


OF THE UNITED STATES



Federal Parole Practices:

Better Management And Legislative

Changes Are Needed

The United States Parole Commission has
parole jurisdiction over all eligible Federal
prisoners, wherever confined, and continu-
ing jurisdiction over those released under
parole supervision. GAO's review of the
Parole Commission and the parole decision-
making process shows that major improve-
ments are needed, not only within the
Commission, but also within those compo-
nents of the judicial and executive branches
of the Federal Government that provide in-
formation to the Commission for its use in
rendering parole decisions.

GAO made this review because of the con-
troversy existing within the Congress over
whether parole should be abolished or con-
tinue to be part of the Federal criminal jus-
tice system. The information contained in
this report should assist the Congress in its
deliberations on this important issue.

The Parole Commission, the Department of
Justice, and the Administrative Office of
the United States Courts concurred with
most of GAO's recommendations.
