Life Timers Must Serve Ten Years Parole Bill Passed by Senate
A bill prohibiting automatic parole for life term prisoners until they have served at least ten years was unanimously approved by the Senate. The measure, urged by Senator Eakes after the Leo Frank commutation, includes tough provisions on clemency and requires evidence of reform before parole. The prison commission may deny parole based on conduct and history, with governor approval for refusals, and mandates detailed reporting to local clerks.
