California Parole Suitability Hearings
Prior to being placed on parole, an inmate must be found suitable for release by the California parole board. When assessing suitability, the threshold question is, “Does the inmate pose an unreasonable risk of danger to society if released?” Having an experienced defense attorney advocating to the board during the parole suitability hearing makes all the difference. Not only will our attorneys assist during the hearing, but we will ensure that you or your loved one are prepared prior to the hearing by putting together a detailed release plan. Moreover, we have top doctors available for client evaluations to challenge negative psychological evaluations.
What Factors Are Considered When Determining Parole Suitability?
The board considers the following factors when determining whether an individual is ready for parole:
- The inmate’s level of remorse for the crime
- All of the circumstances of their offense
- The inmate’s involvement in in-house treatment/counseling programs
- The inmate’s behavior while in prison
- Psychological and counseling reports
- The inmate’s plans for how to successfully re-enter the community
- Input from the friends or family of the victim
