Ind. Code § 11-13-6-9

in effect

Sec. 9. (a) A parolee confined due to an alleged violation of his parole shall be afforded a parole revocation hearing by the department within sixty (60) days after his arrest. A parolee who is not confined and against whom is pending a charge of parole violation shall be afforded a parole revocation hearing within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date an order was issued for his appearance at a parole revocation hearing or the date of his arrest on the parole violation warrant, whichever is earlier. The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether a violation of a condition of parole has occurred and, if so, the appropriate action. In connection with the hearing the parolee is entitled to those procedural safeguards enumerated in section 8(a) of this chapter, plus representation by counsel and, if indigent, to have counsel appointed for him. The parolee may offer evidence in mitigation of the alleged violation. (b) The parolee's parent, guardian, or custodian is entitled to be present at the hearing. The department shall give the parent, guardian, or custodian notice of the hearing. (c) if it is determined from the evidence presented that the parolee did not commit a violation of a condition of parole, the charge shall be dismissed. (d) If the department finds that the parolee did violate a condition of his parole, it may continue him on parole, with or without modifying the conditions, or revoke the parole and order him confined on either a continuous or intermittent basis. (e) The department shall provide the parolee with a written statement of the reasons for the action taken under subsection (d), if parole is revoked. (f) Unless good cause for the delay is established in the record of the proceeding, the parole revocation charge shall be dismissed if the revocation hearing is not held within the time established by subsection (a). As added by Acts 1979, P.L.120, SEC.6. Amended by Acts 1980, P.L.87, SEC.8.
