Parole Board
A Parole Board is a group of officials responsible for deciding whether a prisoner can be released early from incarceration. They review the inmate's behavior, rehabilitation efforts, and the nature of their crime to determine if they can safely reintegrate into society. The board aims to balance public safety with the opportunity for rehabilitation.
When a prisoner is eligible for parole, they may attend a hearing where they can present their case. The board considers input from various sources, including the inmate, victims, and law enforcement. Their decision can significantly impact the inmate's future and community safety.
