In future, most inmates who get out of prison will no longer be on "parole" but on "probation", which means they report to their county, not the state.

Occasionally, the intense media focus on a high profile case causes the parole board to be especially reluctant to recommend release.

If a prisoner does not satisfy the conditions for commutation or parole as provided by the law, the prisoner shall not be commuted or paroled on any ground.
