Life Sentenced Inmates

C Lane made this Official Information request to New Zealand Parole Board

The request was successful.

From: C Lane

Dear New Zealand Parole Board,

In regards to inmates that have been sentenced to a life sentence with a non parole period, under what grounds can that inmate apply for an early parole application/board etc? Or early release?

Are there any special grounds under good behaviour conditions that inmates can apply for early parole application etc?

Yours faithfully,

Moka Harris

Dear SPIERLING, Alistair (WELLHO),

Just to clarify, if a prisoner serving a non parole period life sentence, is to complete all relevant programs thought out his/her sentence, which then are completed say five years before due for first parole, he/she is then able to request early parole?

If correct is this the only grounds (beside ill health) that the Parole Board will consider a life sentenced inmate for parole before his/her due date?

Yours sincerely,

Moka Harris
