Bill overview
This bill modifies the Michigan Corrections Code, specifically section 34, which governs parole eligibility for inmates sentenced to indeterminate terms. It clarifies the conditions under which the parole board can review and potentially grant parole to prisoners, particularly those serving life sentences or consecutive terms. The bill also outlines specific criteria for parole consideration, including minimum service requirements and restrictions on parole for certain offenses, such as first-degree murder and drug-related crimes. It introduces a process for reviewing prisoner files and considers the potential for early parole release based on medical frailty and cooperation with law enforcement.
