Has the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole issued a revocation decision? An inmate will receive a “green sheet”, with a revocation decision and reasons for it. Common reasons for appeal are:
- Insufficient Evidence
- Error of Law (Timeliness, jurisdiction, hearsay, etc.)
- Violation of Constitutional law (Due process, double jeopardy, etc.)
- Recommitment Challenge
- Sentence Credit Challenge
- Insufficient Reasons for sentences above presumptive ranges.
Appeals are first taken by completing an Administrative remedies form. If the administrative appeal is denied, it can be followed by an appeal to Commonwealth Court.
