Washington Law Review
Abstract
During its 1969 Regular Session the Washington Legislature enacted legislation governing parole revocation hearings and re-enacted existing provisions concerning the arrest and initial detention of suspected parole violators. The re-enacted portion of the statute provides that any parole or probation officer may arrest a parolee without a warrant when he has "reason to believe" that a convicted person has violated any state statute or a condition of his parole. The prisoner is not to be released until the board acts to reinstate his parole status
