Elder Parole

Elder Parole (S.15/A.3475) addresses these inhumane sentences by allowing people in New York State prison aged 55 and older who have served 15 or more consecutive years to be considered for parole, regardless of their crime or sentence. In addition to addressing the ongoing injustices of the parole system, New Yorkers are also ready to dismantle systems of mass incarceration, and prioritize communities over cages through decarceral Sentencing Reform that eliminates mandatory minimums, reduces excessive maximum sentences, eliminates sentencing enhancements, and creates additional opportunities for people to be considered for release.
