After controversial releases, Reeves pushes for parole reform
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves has proposed changes to Mississippi’s parole process in his executive budget for the new fiscal year. The first recommendation requires all parole decisions to go through a hearing, ensuring public safety by preventing mandatory parole for dangerous offenders. The second change seeks to redefine “technical violations,” allowing the parole board to revoke parole for offenders committing new crimes, including misdemeanors. These changes aim to enhance the board’s discretion and accountability. The proposals follow public criticism over controversial parole decisions, such as those involving Frederick Bell and James Williams III, highlighting concerns about public safety.
