Bill > SB2036

This bill amends Mississippi law to clarify that nonviolent inmates who are eligible for parole may, at the discretion of the State Parole Board, be released to parole supervision on their parole eligibility date without a hearing, provided they meet certain conditions such as completing their parole case plan, having no victim objections, no recent disciplinary violations, agreeing to supervision conditions, and having an approved discharge plan. Previously, such inmates were generally required to have a hearing before being released on parole. The bill also outlines specific circumstances under which a hearing would still be required, such as if a victim requests one, if the inmate fails to meet case plan requirements, or if law enforcement raises public safety concerns.
