Sex offenders: parole violations.

Existing law requires persons who have been convicted of specified crimes to register as a sex offender. Existing law provides for parole and postrelease community supervision of felons, as provided, including provisions for the revocation of parole or postrelease community supervision by a court or a revocation hearing officer. This bill would provide that any criminal defendant who is released on parole or to postrelease community supervision, who has suffered a prior or current felony requiring registration as a sex offender, and who violates that parole or postrelease community-based supervision shall serve any period of incarceration ordered for that violation in the state prison.
