Section 22.510.5.8 - SUPPORT SUPERVISORY RELEASE CRITERIA

Universal Citation: 22 NM Admin Code 22.510.5.8

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

The provisions of the rule apply only to inmates serving indeterminate sentences for crimes committed prior to July 1, 1979. There is hereby adopted by the parole board the following practice to be applied in those instances where a resident of the New Mexico penitentiary is approaching a final release date, and to be followed only in those instances where the final release date is a minimum of six (6) months. (This program involves considering parole for those inmates who have previously been denied parole but who will "final out" their sentences within six (6) months. Such releases are made on the theory that it is more appropriate to release "poor parole" risks under some form of supervision rather than to release them without any supervision at the termination of their sentences.)

A. A petition, which may be by letter, shall be submitted to the parole board seeking consideration under this procedure. In all instances the petition shall be accompanied with the recommendations of the case manager.

B. To be considered for this program, the petitioner must meet the minimum parole eligibility requirements.
