If there are disciplinary proceedings that have started, including the possible revocation of parole, he has the ability to retain counsel to represent him and fight the accusations.  This often happens in the context of someone on parole who is accused of violating his parole and then is taken into custody where the admnistrative board then reviews matters and decides whether to sustain the violation that most often the parole officer has brought.  I hope this is of a help to you. He should retain a lawyer at this point to prepare for whatever the Illinois Department of Corrections is planning to do to him.    Good luck.
