House Roll Call 560: The amendment was not adopted

To require parole board interviews to be taped, the tapes saved, and any board member not present at the interview who votes on the prisoner's release to review the recording before voting. Also, to require that if the parole board makes a final determination not to release a prisoner, the written explanation for the reason for denial must include specific facts supporting the denial; and if it denies parole to a prisoner whose parole guidelines score does not indicate a low probability of parole, it must reconsider the decision in 12 or 24 months.
