Existing law requires a sentence resulting in imprisonment in the state prison to include a period of parole supervision or postrelease community supervision, as specified. Existing law generally specifies the length and review process for parole depending on the violation for which the person has been sentenced and whether the person has violated the terms of their parole.
This bill would specifically exclude an inmate sentenced for an offense of first or 2nd degree murder with a maximum term of life imprisonment, as specified, from the requirement for a 3-year probation period applicable to an inmate released from state prison on or after July 1, 2020.
