§ 810. Conditional pardon; breach
- (a) In his or her discretion, the Governor may grant a pardon for offenses against the
State upon the conditions as he or she judges proper. Until a person to whom a conditional
pardon is granted is excused from the performance of the conditions thereof, the Governor
shall have all the authority, rights, and powers over and in relation to the person
which he or she would have if he or she were surety in the case upon the recognizance
of the person before conviction, and he or she shall be the sole and exclusive judge
as to whether the conditions of the pardon have been violated. If, in the judgment
of the Governor, the conditions have been violated, he or she may cause the person
to be apprehended and returned to his or her former condition of custody that execution
of sentence may be complied with. (b) Whenever a person is conditionally pardoned, the Commissioner shall be furnished with
a copy of the conditional pardon signed by the Governor, setting forth the name of
the person, the nature of the crime of which he or she was convicted, the date and
place of trial and sentence, and the terms of the conditional pardon. Such copy of
the conditional pardon shall be full authority for the exercise by the Commissioner
of all rights and powers over and in relation to the person prescribed by law and
the order of the Governor and shall be a sufficient warrant for the detention of the
person as provided in subsection (c) of this section. (c) The Commissioner may detain for safekeeping at a correctional facility any person
who has allegedly violated the terms of his or her conditional pardon as ordered by
the Governor, pending a conference with the advisory Parole Board at its next regularly
scheduled meeting, or the Governor, such period of detention not to exceed 30 days.
The nature of the alleged violation shall be considered by the advisory Parole Board
and recommendation made to the Governor. (Added 1971, No. 199 (Adj. Sess.), § 20.)
