2017Rambeau v. Rundle, [ 314 A.2d 842 (Pa. 1973)], the revocation hearing shall be held within 120 days of the official verification of the return of the parolee to a state correctional facility. 37 Pa. Code §71.4 (1)(i) (emphasis by underline added). 6 Here, Inmate argues the facts in his case are similar to those in Taylor v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, 624 A.2d 225 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993).

2002In other words, “[w]hen a convicted parolee is confined outside the jurisdiction of the Department and then is returned to it, the official verification of return triggers the 120 day period, even if official verification of conviction has not yet been received.” Taylor, 624 A.2d at 228 (emphasis in original). *1002 Here, although Montgomery was moved from SCI-Waynesburg to the Bucks County jail for a non-jury trial on new criminal charges, Montgomery at all times was serving his TPV backtime within the jurisdiction of the Department.
