The House Judiciary Committee approved a bill restricting inmate furloughs to emergencies or six months from parole. The measure reacts to a Roswell case where a prisoner on furlough spent Christmas at home, drawing strong objections from State Penitentiary Warden Clyde Malley. The bill, sponsored by Rep.
