Massachusetts S1728 reforms parole supervision to prioritize justice and support for parolees.
Massachusetts S1728 amends the state's parole supervision laws to enhance support for parolees and ensure conditions are reasonable and related to their crime. Parole officers must assist parolees in enrolling in programs, and a good faith effort to enroll is not grounds for a violation notice. Parolees who live three years without violating the law can request a hearing to terminate parole. The parole board can grant compliance credits for good behavior, but not for those serving mandatory minimum sentences.
