Section 22.510.17.11 - DENIAL OF PAROLE

A. Where credible evidence of rehabilitation, growth, and maturity is present, a presumption of fitness for parole shall be applied. The focus of the parole board's determination should be on the credible evidence provided by the inmate demonstrating rehabilitation, growth, and maturity. Denial of parole is permitted if the parole board determines there is insufficient evidence of rehabilitation, growth, and maturity. The parole board shall articulate the basis of its decision in writing if release is denied. The written denial shall include, but is not limited to:

(1) The specific reason(s) why release is not in the best interest of society and the inmate; and

(2) An analysis of the characteristics of youth as outlined in 22.510.17.8.

B. In accordance with Subsection A of Section 31-21-10 NMSA 1978, if release is denied, the inmate shall be eligible for a subsequent parole review after two years from the date of the most recent denial.
