ALBANY, N.Y. (WENY) – The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision will end parole supervision for 8-thousand parolees at the end of this week.
This is under a good faith measure of the ‘Less is More’ legislation signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul last fall to improve justice and safety in city jails. Also, it ensures that DOCCS focuses its resources on helping people complete community supervision.
“When the Governor signed Less Is More into law she transformed the parole system in New York State. In the spirit of the law, DOCCS staff immediately went to work implementing some provisions long before the law took effect,” DOCCS Acting Commissioner Anthony J. Annucci said. “I want to thank my staff for the hard work and the hours it took to prepare the Department, as well as work with many law enforcement agencies and legal entities to ensure our compliance with the law on March 1st of this year. Parole Officers will continue to play a vital role in keeping our communities safe, while leveraging a variety of resources to ensure successful outcomes for formerly incarcerated individuals.”
The law created a “30 FOR 30” provision in which released individuals can get 30 days taken off their parole sentence for every 30 days without a violation.
However, DOCCS says that it’s an effort to “expedite this provision of the law.”
More than 5,4000 parolees have been released so far, and an estimated 8,000 are expected to be released by March 31st.
‘Less is More’ legislation
Less supervision More crime.
I tell you, the Media-Dem Party view criminals as their footsoldiers in the war to destroy the US. That is why they work tirelessly to turn criminals loose on society. The Media-Dem Party is nothing more than a huge colony of termites busily, happily, and willingly gnawing away at the woodwork of civilization.
It’s been my experience that those on probation or parole pretty much do whatever they want anyway due to a lack of proper supervision. That includes continuing with their criminal lifestyle. So this isn’t going to have much of an impact on crime. The biggest takeaway from this is that since they’re off paper, they won’t have to deal with a probation/parole violation issue anymore. They’ll just get arrested on their new charges. And they’ll be promptly released on little or no bail.
its hard to believe liberals keep voting for this crap!
they are literally voting to be victims
“To improve justice and safety inside city jails.”
As for OUTSIDE jails, well, we’re not concerned about that.
And yet we pay for parole and probation officers. Huge salaries, benefits and pensions.
They never learn.
NYS just closed 6 prisons, including a super max.
While taxpayers get their pockets picked to pay for the Bills’ new stadium.
Makers aren’t fleeing the state fast enough apparently.
In other words, the State of New York is so bankrupt they can’t afford enough parole officers.
Ah. Because we all know, "good faith" measures work so well in criminal justice.
