Okla. Stat. tit. 57, § 57-516: Parole violators

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

or the Pardon and Parole Board 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 or

the Pardon and Parole Board. Pursuant to the provisions of this

subsection:

1. The Governor shall have the power and authority to revoke

parole granted by the Governor and file the certificate of

revocation with the Secretary of State; and

2. The Pardon and Parole Board, by majority vote, shall have

the power and authority to revoke parole granted by the Pardon and

Parole Board and file the certificate of revocation with the

Secretary of State.

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 or the Pardon and Parole Board 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 or the Pardon and Parole Board 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.
