§ 67.3. Acknowledgment by parolee.
Every parolee shall acknowledge the following:
(1) That he has read, or has had read to him, the conditions of his parole.
(2) That he fully understands the conditions of his parole and agrees to follow such conditions.
(3) That he fully understands the penalties involved if he violates the conditions of parole in any manner.
Notes of Decisions Acknowledgement of Condition of Parole
The obligation to acquaint himself with the conditions of his parole was upon the parolee, and there is no prerequisite to a valid parole condition that the parolee must agree to its terms. Benefiel v. Board of Probation and Parole, 426 A.2d 242 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1981).
Notice
Probation Board failed to meet notice requirement of this section where the only notice was a form entitled Conditions Governing Parole/Reparole signed and dated by the parolee that informed parolee that if he was convicted of a crime committed while on parole/reparole then all time at liberty would be forfeited, but the form did not inform parolee that if he was determined to be a technical parole violator then any delinquent time at liberty would be forfeited. Pana v. Board of Probation and Parole, 703 A.2d 737 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1997); appeal denied 729 A.2d 1132 (Pa. 1998).
