MA S1084

Limits warrants for temporary custody of parolees to specific serious violations: intentional GPS device removal, contacting victims or their household members, violating abuse/harassment prevention orders, or planning to flee the state

Requires parole officers to obtain written approval from a parole board member before issuing custody warrants for alleged violations not on the specified serious violations list

Mandates a preliminary evidentiary hearing within 15 days of a parolee being placed in temporary custody, with the hearing officer required to issue a decision within 48 hours

Establishes factors hearing officers must consider when deciding continued detention: nature/seriousness of violation, connection to underlying offense, prior criminal record, and protection of the public and victims

Credits time from warrant issuance to withdrawal toward the original sentence if the parole board withdraws a temporary custody warrant
