A. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, the probation and parole officer shall, upon information sufficient to give the officer reasonable grounds to believe that the parolee has violated the terms of and conditions of parole, notify the Department of Corrections. If it is determined that the facts justify revocation action, the Department shall issue a warrant for the arrest of the parolee and the warrant shall have the force and effect of any warrant of arrest issued by a district court in this state. The parolee shall, after arrest, be immediately incarcerated in the nearest county jail, intermediate sanctions facility, or a Department of Corrections facility to await action by the Governor as to whether the parole will be revoked. Parole time shall cease to run after the issuance of a warrant for arrest by the Department of Corrections, and earned credits shall not be accrued during any period of time when the parolee is incarcerated pending revocation action by the Governor.
B. Any parolee determined to have violated any terms or conditions of parole by the supervising parole officer may be given the option, at the discretion of the Department of Corrections, to be placed in an intermediate sanctions facility for disciplinary sanction and programmatic services in lieu of revocation or when revocation action by the Governor is deemed unnecessary for the nature of the violation. Any parolee for whom a warrant for arrest issues as provided in subsection A of this section may, at the discretion of the Department or the Governor, be placed in an intermediate sanctions facility pending or following any action by the Governor as to revocation of parole or required additional conditions to remain on parole. A parolee may be received and processed into the custody of the Department on an expedited basis through any facility serving such purpose or may be processed directly by the intermediate sanctions facility.
