Overview
This bill limits the time an inmate denied parole can be held before being reconsidered for parole eligibility. It requires the New Jersey Parole Board to develop a schedule of future parole eligibility dates, capping that period at three years following the initial denial. The bill also mandates that the board notify inmates of their future parole consideration date and provide reasons for any changes to that date. This aims to provide greater predictability for inmates awaiting parole decisions.
