Discover Proposition 57 Early Parole Standards For Non-Violent Offenders!

by Michael Beckman California Board of Parole Hearings

Prop 57 enabled the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the Board of Parole Hearings (BOP) to implement an early parole assessment procedure for non-violent offenders who had served the full sentence for their primary offense in county jail.

It’s essential to highlight from the opening of this piece that eligibility for early parole review does not constitute early parole - the BOP can reject an early release.

Who is a Non-Violent Criminal? Who does not qualify?

Ineligible prisoners are those sentenced to life in prison, convicted for prison without the possibility of parole, imprisoned for life with the chance of parole for a violent or serious felony, or found guilty of a sexual crime that needs, or will require a permit under a Penal Code, and anyone serving a term of prison sentences for a violent felony is not qualified.

Inmates who serve the full term of their primary offense application of any sentencing additions or the initiation of any repeat sentence are qualified. It is commonly accepted that the major offense is the one for which the prisoner receives the longest sentence.

When an inmate undergoes Public Safety Screening?

If a prisoner is qualified, he or she will be evaluated for submission to the board 35 days before serving the full sentence or primary offense. The inmate will be reviewed for unjustifiable aggression or illegal conduct. This is termed a screening for public safety.

This assessment is available to both victims and prosecutors. The board will inform victims listed with the CDCR's Department of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services and the charging entity within 5 days of the referral. The board will evaluate their written statement in 30 days.

If he or she clears this assessment, he or she will be transferred for community monitoring following release. If the inmate fails this evaluation, he or she will be evaluated again in one year.

Inmates who clear the community safety screening assessment and are deemed qualified are then informed of the outcomes.
