Agency Mission
The Division of Parole's mission is to create the opportunity for an offender to become a productive law-abiding member of the community while limiting public risk. The Parole Board determines when an inmate should be released through a hearing process. The Division is also responsible for supervising parolees and offenders subject to post release supervision in the community, investigating alleged violations, violating parole supervision when warranted and arranging services to help maintain the parolee in the community. Parole is responsible for monitoring and overseeing 50,000 parolees.
Year-to-Year Change
The Executive recommends an All Funds State Operations appropriation decrease of $1,925,600 or 1.39 percent. Aid to Localities appropriations are decreased by $1,642,900 or 2.66 percent.
Legislative Proposals
The Executive proposes to eliminate 64 staff positions within parole operations, with a commensurate reduction in funding of $2,800,000. The Assembly recognizes the need to provide better tracking and monitoring of violent offenders and restores these parole officers to enhance public safety. In addition, the Assembly recommends that the interstate compact for the transfer of parolees and probationers continue as currently administered under law.
