HRS §353-69

When parole can be granted

This section says that parole can only be given if the Hawaii paroling authority believes the prisoner will obey the law and that releasing them is safe for society. It applies unless another law says otherwise.

The statute, as written — Parole when

[Repeal and reenactment on July 1, 2018, by L 2013, c 67, §2 deleted by 2017, c 77, §2.] Except as provided in section 706-670, no parole shall be granted unless it appears to the Hawaii paroling authority that there is a reasonable probability that the prisoner concerned will live and remain at liberty without violating the law and that the prisoner's release is not incompatible with the welfare and safety of society.
