New York S05802 mandates in-person parole board interviews for incarcerated individuals at their housing facility.

New York S05802 amends the executive law to require that parole board interviews for incarcerated individuals be conducted in person at the correctional facility where the individual is housed. This change ensures that the board personally interviews the incarcerated individual to determine if parole should be granted. If parole is denied, the incarcerated individual must be informed in writing within two weeks of the reasons for the denial. The bill also specifies that if the individual is released, they will be notified of the restoration of their voting rights.
