State Board of Pardons and Paroles Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Report

In Fiscal Year 2015, all parole supervision fees, victim compensation, and restitution fees were collected via the consolidated banking unit of the Department of Corrections. In FY15, $12,759,384 was collected.

Restitution collections are reported as a combined total of funds collected by the Department of Corrections and the Parole Board.

The Parole Board’s policy regarding supervision fees requires that each parolee pay only one type of fee. Court-ordered restitution which goes directly to the victim is the first priority. Payments to the Georgia Crime Victims Emergency Fund (GCVEF), as required by statute, are next, followed by parole supervision fees.
