* § 410.91 Sentence of parole supervision.
   1.  A  sentence of parole supervision is an indeterminate sentence of
imprisonment which may be imposed upon an eligible defendant, as defined
in  subdivision  two of this section. Such sentence shall have a minimum
term and a maximum term within  the  ranges  specified  by  subdivisions
three  and four of section 70.06 of the penal law. Provided, however, if
the court directs that the sentence be executed as a sentence of  parole
supervision,  it  shall remand the defendant for immediate delivery to a
reception center  operated  by  the  state  department  of  correctional
services,  in  accordance  with  section  430.20 of this chapter and six
hundred one of the correction law, for a period not to exceed ten  days.
An  individual  who  receives  such a sentence shall be placed under the
immediate supervision of the state division of parole  and  must  comply
with  the conditions of parole, which shall include an initial placement
in a drug treatment campus for a period of ninety days at which time the
defendant shall be released therefrom.
   2.  A defendant is an "eligible defendant" for purposes of a sentence
of parole supervision when such defendant is a  second  felony  offender
convicted  of  a specified offense or offenses as defined in subdivision
five of this section, who stands convicted of no other  felony  offense,
who  has  not  previously  been  convicted  of  either  a violent felony
offense as defined in section 70.02 of the penal law, a class  A  felony
offense  or  a  class  B  felony  offense,  and  is  not  subject  to an
undischarged term of imprisonment.
   3.  When an indeterminate sentence of imprisonment is imposed upon an
eligible defendant for a specified offense, as  defined  in  subdivision
five  of  this  section,  the  court  may  direct  that such sentence be
executed as a sentence of parole supervision if the court finds (i) that
the defendant has a history of controlled substance dependence that is a
significant contributing factor to such  defendant's  criminal  conduct;
(ii)  that  such  defendant's  controlled  substance dependence could be
appropriately addressed by a sentence of parole supervision;  and  (iii)
that  imposition  of such a sentence would not have an adverse effect on
public safety or public confidence in  the  integrity  of  the  criminal
justice system.
   4.  If  the  sentence  is  for  a specified offense that is a class D
felony, the court may  not  impose  a  sentence  of  parole  supervision
without the consent of the people. If the conviction is as a result of a
plea of guilty, the people  must  communicate  their  consent,  or  lack
thereof,  at  the time of the plea. If the conviction is not as a result
of a plea of guilty, the people must communicate their consent, or  lack
thereof,  at  least  ten  days before sentencing. In either case, if the
people do not consent, they must state on the record or in  writing  the
reason or reasons for their opposition.
   5.  For  the  purposes  of  this section, a "specified offense" is an
offense defined by any of the following provisions  of  the  penal  law:
criminal  mischief  in  the  third  degree as defined in section 145.05,
criminal mischief in the second degree as  defined  in  section  145.10,
grand  larceny  in the fourth degree as defined in subdivision one, two,
three, four, five, six, eight, nine or  ten  of  section  155.30,  grand
larceny  in  the third degree as defined in section 155.35 (except where
the property consists of one or  more  firearms,  rifles  or  shotguns),
unauthorized use of a vehicle in the second degree as defined in section
165.06, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth  degree  as
defined  in  subdivision one, two, three, five or six of section 165.45,
criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree as defined in
section  165.50  (except  where  the  property  consists  of one or more
firearms, rifles or shotguns), forgery in the second degree  as  defined
in  section  170.10,  criminal  possession of a forged instrument in the
second degree as defined in section 170.25, unlawfully  using  slugs  in
the  first  degree as defined in section 170.60, or an attempt to commit
any of the aforementioned offenses if such attempt constitutes a  felony
offense;  or  any  class  D or class E controlled substance or marihuana
felony offense as defined in article two hundred twenty or  two  hundred
twenty-one.
   6.  Upon delivery of the defendant to the reception center, he or she
shall be given a copy of the conditions of parole by a representative of
the  division  of  parole and shall acknowledge receipt of a copy of the
conditions  in  writing.   The  conditions  shall  be   established   in
accordance  with article twelve-B of the executive law and the rules and
regulations of the division of parole.  Thereafter and while the parolee
is participating in the intensive drug treatment program provided at the
drug treatment campus, the division of parole shall assess the parolee's
special   needs  and  shall  develop  an  intensive  program  of  parole
supervision that will address the parolee's substance abuse history  and
which  shall  include periodic urinalysis testing. Unless inappropriate,
such program shall include the provision  of  treatment  services  by  a
community-based  substance  abuse  service provider which has a contract
with the division of parole.
   7.  Upon  completion  of  the  drug  treatment  program  at  the drug
treatment campus, a parolee will be furnished with money,  clothing  and
transportation   in   a  manner  consistent  with  section  one  hundred
twenty-five of the correction law to permit the  parolee's  travel  from
the  drug  treatment  campus  to  the  county  in  which  the  parolee's
supervision will continue.
   8.  If  the  parole  officer  having  charge of a person sentenced to
parole supervision pursuant to this  section  has  reasonable  cause  to
believe  that  such  person  has  violated  the conditions of his or her
parole, the procedures of  subdivision  three  of  section  two  hundred
fifty-nine-i  of  the  executive  law  shall  apply to the issuance of a
warrant and the conduct of further proceedings; provided, however,  that
a  parole  violation  warrant issued for a violation committed while the
parolee is being supervised at a drug treatment campus shall  constitute
authority for the immediate placement of the parolee into a correctional
facility operated by the department of correctional services,  which  to
the  extent  practicable  shall  be reasonably proximate to the place at
which the violation occurred, to hold  in  temporary  detention  pending
completion  of  the  procedures required by subdivision three of section
two hundred fifty-nine-i of the executive law.
