PRB Data
The PRB has
approved for transfer 20 of the 25 detainees for whom it has issued decisions
(80.0%).
Of the 44
detainees who are PRB-eligible and still awaiting clearance:
·
Five
were denied clearance in their initial appearance before the PRB and are in
various stages of file review (ISNs 28, 29, 242, 522) or getting a subsequent
full review (ISN 131);
·
Four
have had their initial hearings and are awaiting decision (ISNs 508, 569, 1094,
1457);
·
12 are
officially in the PRB process with scheduled hearing dates (ISNs 27, 63, 753,
760, 762, 837, 838, 840, 841, 975, 1453, 1463);
·
23 are
not yet officially in the PRB process.
For these
purposes, a detainee is “officially in the PRB process” when he has received
formal notification of the process and has been assigned a PRB hearing date,
based on either (a) the detainee appearing (even if only temporarily) on the PRB web page
tracking individual detainees’ proceedings, (b) my personal knowledge regarding
our PRB-eligible clients, or (c) information provided to me by counsel for
other PRB-eligible detainees.
