S 3912 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Adds to list of crimes ineligible for administrative parole release.

S 3912 adds specific crimes, including human trafficking, child pornography, drug trafficking leadership, and aggravated arson, to the list of offenses that disqualify inmates from automatic parole release under New Jersey's "Earn Your Way Out" Act. Inmates convicted of these crimes would not qualify for early release - even if they complete rehabilitation programs, avoid serious disciplinary issues, or meet other eligibility criteria. The bill expands the existing exclusion list, which previously covered crimes under laws like Megan's Law and the Graves Act, and also includes any other first-degree crime not already excluded. This change directly affects inmates serving sentences for the newly listed offenses, preventing them from accessing the automatic parole process.
