You are eligible for a youth offender parole hearing if you were under the age of 26 at the time of the controlling offense. That means, the Commissioner(s) and Deputy Commissioner must give great weight to the diminished culpability of juveniles as compared to adults, the hallmark features of youth, and any subsequent growth and increased maturity. Understand the role these factors have as compared to the suitability factors at a non-youth offender parole hearing is vital to your success.

In 2019, youth offender parole hearing grant rates varied greatly: determinately sentenced youth offender 23% and indeterminately sentenced youth offender 39%.

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.
