parole reform
Parole reform involves changing the rules and processes related to granting early release from prison before a person has served their full sentence. The goal is often to improve public safety, fairness, and rehabilitation efforts. Reforms may include adjusting eligibility criteria, increasing oversight of parolees, emphasizing treatment and support, and reducing barriers to reentry. These changes aim to ensure that parole decisions are fair, transparent, and effective in helping individuals reintegrate into society while protecting community safety.
