According to VSA Title 28; Chapter 7, the Parole Board's decisions regarding parole and SCS are not subject to court review, with the exception that an offender may ask a court to determine whether the Board in making a decision violated any provision of Chapter 7.  

• An offender may also seek action against the Board if it is alleged that the Board's actions violated the State or Federal constitutional rights of an offender, or violated the Board's own rules.

Apart from factors mentioned above that may be challenged through our court system, the Board has developed a policy that will grant reconsideration to a previous decision regarding parole or SCS when new information has been revealed to the Board. 

• The Board must receive a reconsideration request within thirty (30) days from the date final disposition is made available to the offender.  If it is not received within thirty (30) days, it shall be denied. 
• Reconsideration shall only be considered if new evidence has been provided that was not available at the time of the proceeding which would have likely resulted in a different decision by the Board.
