Youthful Offender Parole Board

The Youthful Offender Parole Board is a specialized agency that determines whether young people who committed crimes should be released from detention before completing their full sentences. It considers factors like the individual’s age, behavior, and potential for rehabilitation to decide if they are suitable for parole. The goal is to offer opportunities for young offenders to reintegrate into society while ensuring public safety. The board’s decisions aim to balance accountability with the belief that young individuals can change and deserve a chance for a second opportunity.
