Are parole reviews different for non-aggravated and aggravated cases?
RESPONSE:Parole reviews are no different for non-aggravated and aggravated cases. Parole eligibility is what is different. Case summaries are prepared very much the same for each, though we identify for the Board the fact that the case is aggravated (a.k.a. 3g) or non-aggravated. The Board considers all aspects of every case, regardless of its type. (Note: Do not confuse aggravated cases with SB 45 cases, which are certain cases that require a full Board review and two-thirds majority of the whole Board to be approved for parole release. Those reviews often take much longer as more members have to receive and review the cases if it is SB 45).
