Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
In accordance with the prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment of the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article II, Section 13 of the New Mexico Constitution and the rehabilitative purposes of the New Mexico Children's Code, the parole board is responsible for providing an inmate sentenced for offenses committed under the age of 18 with a meaningful opportunity for release. Because of the unique constitutional requirements announced in supreme court precedent, the parole board must treat cases involving youthful offenders differently than those involving adult offenders.
