What is a Public Hearing?

There are two types of public hearings: 1) Parole Hearing; and 2) Review of Parole Hearing.  At a Parole Hearing, the Board determines whether the person is an appropriate candidate to be released on parole.  At a Review of Parole Hearing, the Board decides whether the person who has been on parole but has not abided by the conditions of parole should be revoked and recommitted or whether that person can remain under parole supervision with additional conditions.

In the event a public hearing is canceled due to weather or other emergency situations, the calendar will be updated accordingly.

NOTE:  please see the attached link for information on procedures related to attendance at parole hearings, which take place at NDCS facilities.  https://corrections.nebraska.gov/ndcs-will-implement-questionnaire-facility-entry
Because the Governor has declared a state of emergency (https://governor.nebraska.gov/press/gov-ricketts-issues-emergency-declaration-covid-19), be advised that the Nebraska Board of Parole will follow NDCS policy and recommendations for individuals who are denied access to its facilities as a result of the screening process.  If you wish to be heard on a certain matter or individual, it is best to submit those comments in writing in advance of the hearing.  You can submit those via regular mail or through the website at https://parole.nebraska.gov/contact.
