What does the Parole Board consider when deciding if an inmate is granted Parole?
The Board considers a number of factors, including: • The nature of the offense. • Any prior juvenile, misdemeanor, or felony convictions. • Input from victims and others who have been affected by the crime. • Probation and parole history. • Institutional conduct, participation in rehabilitation programs and relevant psychological evaluations. • Statements from the sentencing judge and prosecuting attorney. • An evaluation of community resources available to help the offender re-enter society.
