CAN AN INMATE MAKE PAROLE AFTER A RECENT BOOKING?
The Parole Board has a very strict policy that inmates must be booking free for a minimum of six months in order to receive serious parole consideration. If an inmate is in segregation at the time of the scheduled reconsideration hearing, the inmate will automatically be denied parole and given a three-month review date. If an inmate scheduled for an initial hearing is in segregation, he/she will be seen by the Board. It may be in the inmate’s best interest to waive the parole hearing if recently booked.
