Only the parole board of the state Department of Correction and the Governor have the power to grant parole.
Parole board members do not have the authority to override a sentencing judge's decision; their role is to evaluate an inmate's suitability for parole based on behavior, rehabilitation, and risk assessment. While they can grant or deny parole, they operate within the framework set by the original sentence and the law. If a judge imposes a specific sentence, including any conditions, the parole board must adhere to that when making parole decisions.
At a parole board hearing in Illinois, inmates seeking parole present their case for release to a panel of board members. The board reviews the inmate's behavior, rehabilitation progress, and any victim impact statements before making a decision. The hearing includes testimony from the inmate, their legal representatives, and potentially family members or advocates. Ultimately, the board votes to grant or deny parole based on the inmate's readiness for reentry into society.
