offender on conditional release is, for all intents and purposes, an offender on parole. See 11 Del. C. § 4347(i); 11 Del. C. § 4352. It is the Board of Parole and not the Court that has the statutory authority to revoke a conditional release. See 11 Del. C. § 4352(d). Finally, a releasee is, by statute, "deemed as released on parole until the expiration of the maximum term...for which he is sentenced." See 11 Del. C. § 4348.
In sum, the law is clear that the Board of Parole has authority to conduct hearings for alleged violations by offenders on mandatory conditional release.
