You are eligible for elderly offender parole hearing if you are at least 50 years old and continuously incarcerated for 20 years (with exceptions). That means, the Commissioner(s) and Deputy Commissioner must give special consideration to your age, long-term confinement, and diminished physical condition, if any. That may sound like you should be released if you meet those requirements. However, the reality is much more bleak.

In 2019, only 30% of elderly parole hearings were granted parole. Contrary to common beliefs, your elderly offender factors alone will not get you out of prison. Instead, you must prepare to mitigate your suitability factors like a typical parole hearing, while being given special consideration for your elderly offender factors.

Don’t leave your freedom up to chance. With state-appointed representation, you can expect 2-3 meetings for about an hour each to review the parole hearing process, suitability factors, Structured Decision-Making Framework, your rights, causative factors, character defects, self-help programs, CRA, parole plans, relapse prevention plans, insight statement, remorse statement, and prior transcripts, if any.

Depending on the package you choose, our firm will meet with you 4 to 7 times, conduct 1 to 2 mock hearings, and appear at your parole hearing. When you are ready for a second chance at freedom, call Mony Chim Law, PC.
