Albany has passed a new law designed to curb the number of people sent back to prison for non-criminal parole violations. If signed into law by Governor Cuomo, the “Less Is More Act” will stop parole officers from reincarcerating people for technical offenses, like missed check-ins and curfews or marijuana use. It will also give residents legal counsel when they are accused of violating their conditions of release and shorten parole periods for those who consistently follow the rules.

This sounds great! Parole requirements are so strict it makes it extremely easy for people to become re-incarcerated.
