‘Do we believe in redemption or not?’: Rep. Evangelos pushes to restore parole to Maine’s justice system
Mon, 04/19/2021 - 4:30pm

If you’re sentenced to a long prison term in Maine, your chances of being released early are almost nil. In 1976, Maine became the first state to abolish parole entirely, also doing away with the Executive Council, which once shared authority for pardons with the governor. Since then, sentence commutations, another form of early release, have been rare, perhaps non-existent. Rep. Jeffrey Evangelos (I-Friendship), who’s sponsoring the first bill in nearly a decade that would restore parole, says...
