CaliforniaElderly Parole Program.
What it does
Existing law establishes the Elderly Parole Program for the purpose of reviewing the parole suitability of inmates who are 50 years of age or older and who have served a minimum of 20 years of continuous incarceration on their sentence. If an inmate is found suitable for parole under this program, existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings to release the individual on parole, as specified.
More detail
For an inmate sentenced for certain sexually related crimes, the bill would not consider the inmate suitable for parole under the program unless the person is 65 years of age or older and has served a minimum of 25 years of continuous incarceration on their current sentence.
