Amends TCA Title 40, Chapter 35, Part 5.
Tennessee SB0455 amends Title 40, Chapter 35, Part 5 of the Tennessee Code Annotated to modify the conditions under which parole can be denied for inmates convicted of certain felonies. The bill allows the Board of Parole to deny parole based solely on its finding of a substantial risk that the inmate will not conform to release conditions, even if the inmate is serving a sentence for serious crimes such as first-degree murder. This change impacts inmates seeking parole and the decision-making process of the Board of Parole.
