Introduced Text

Establishes geriatric parole for certain eligible inmates in New Jersey.

The bill establishes geriatric parole for inmates who are 65 years of age or older and have served one-third of their sentence, or 60 years of age or older and have served one-half of their sentence. The appropriate board panel reviews the inmate’s risk to public safety. Inmates serving a sentence for a sex offense or certain other offenses are not eligible. The denial of geriatric parole does not preclude an inmate from being considered for parole under current law.
