Overview
This bill aims to reduce the penalty for certain ‘technical’ violations of parole in New Jersey. Specifically, it lowers the re-incarceration period for adult parolees who violate parole conditions, such as failing to report to a parole officer or failing to comply with special parole conditions. The reduction applies to parolees aged 26 or older, who currently face a 12-month re-incarceration, and will be subject to a 9-month period. The bill also allows for adjustments to the re-incarceration period based on individual circumstances and the parolee’s record.
