Establishes the Elderly Parole Program in California for inmates aged 65 and older who have served at least 20 years of incarceration.
The Elderly Parole Program, administered by the Board of Parole Hearings, reviews the parole suitability of inmates aged 65 and older who have served a minimum of 20 years of continuous incarceration. The board considers whether the inmate's age, time served, and diminished physical condition reduce their risk for future violence. If found suitable for parole, the inmate is released; if not, a subsequent hearing is scheduled. The program does not apply to inmates convicted of first-degree murder of a peace officer or sentenced under specific provisions.
