An Act to reform parole supervision in the interest of justice

This bill reformers parole supervision in Massachusetts by requiring the parole board to justify each condition based on its connection to the specific crime committed and ensuring restrictions are no more severe than necessary for public safety. It limits blanket bans on associating with people or using alcohol and drugs, allowing such prohibitions only when directly related to the offense. The legislation also introduces a system of compliance credits that can reduce time on parole for individuals who successfully meet all supervision requirements without violations. Additionally, the bill clarifies procedures for medical parole, ensuring that if a patient's condition improves, they face a hearing to determine if they must return to prison.
