The PBC is the granting authority for ETAs for inmates serving a life sentence and eligible for day parole, except for medical reasons or attending legal proceedings.

Once the PBC authorizes an ETA for community service, family contact, or personal development for an inmate eligible for day parole, subsequent ETAs related to the same purpose can be approved by the Institutional Head.

This code applies when the offender returned to the institution late or on time, but was subsequently convicted of being under the influence of an intoxicant or possessing contraband upon return.
