Latest Text Digest

Existing law punishes specified crimes, including, among others, some forms of murder and rape, with imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole. Existing law states that an inmate imprisoned under a life sentence shall not be paroled until they have served the greater of either 7 years or the minimum term set in their sentence. Existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings to, in considering a parole for an inmate, consider all statements and recommendations which may have been submitted by the judge, district attorney, and sheriff, as specified, and recommendations of other persons interested in the granting or denying of parole.

This bill would require the board to consider in a parole suitability hearing for an inmate imprisoned under a life sentence specified photographs.
