Today Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed into law SB822/HB467, the most comprehensive change to parole in MD since parole began. We worked on this legislation for two years — from conception to drafting and advocacy. And now it’s the law! For the first time, it guarantees that there’s a guaranteed and predictable hearing schedule for every parole eligible person, requires that hearings are recorded, proactively gives incarcerated people their parole files for review, requires that specific data is made public about the parole process yearly, and requires a rationale be provided for each decision.
