Agency: ONTARIO PAROLE AND EARNED RELEASE BOARD
Agency URL: www.operb.gov.on.ca
Address: Suite 1803 415 Yonge Street Toronto M5B 2E7 ONT
Tel.: (416) 325-4480
Fax: (416) 325-4485
Background: MINISTRY OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES ACT, RSO 1990, C. M.22, PART III, S. 32
Period: N/A - N/A
Type: ADJ
Prerogative: Mandatory Legislation; Minister's OIC
Function: Parole in Ontario is a supervised conditional release of offenders who are serving sentences of less than two years in provincial institutions. The Corrections and Conditional Release Act (federal) and the Ministry of Correctional Services Act and its regulations define the eligibility and criteria for parole. The board, responsible to the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, provides in-person hearings automatically for offenders who are serving sentences six months or longer. Those serving sentences of less than six months must apply to the parole board in order to receive a hearing. Inmates are eligible for release on parole after having served one-third of their sentence. They may, however, apply for early parole consideration under exceptional or compelling circumstances. A quorum of two board members, normally comprised of one full-time member and one community part-time member, reviews all available information on an individual case prior to the in-person hearing. Additionally, the board conducts case reviews, in quorum, and undertakes a wide scope of administrative functions and decisions. The primary goal of the board is to assess an offender's risk to society by reoffending and to help protect society by assisting in the offender's reintegration into the community.
Membership: The Lieutenant Governor in Council appoints the number of full- and part-time members considered necessary and may designate one of the members as chair.
Term: There is no limitation in legislation.
Meetings: Meetings are scheduled as required at various correctional facilities across the province. Some travel time is necessary to fulfill the legal mandate of the board. Part-time community members attend approximately four hearing days a month.
Requirements: Members are selected on the basis of their experience with social programs, the criminal justice system and service to the community. In addition, members are expected to have sound analytical and communication skills and a good perspective on, and sensitivity to, offenders and the justice system. Members will be expected to abide by the board's standards of professional conduct.
