The Parole Board has up to three decision options they can make at a Parole Hearing: Parole, Deferment or a Serve Out. A SERVE OUT is where the inmate is required to serve the sentence imposed by the Court, minus any statutory time and other credits received. There are no future parole hearings for those who are served out and the offender is released without supervision.
