Parole hearings: audioconferencing.

Summary
Existing law requires the Board of Parole Hearings to give notice of a parole suitability hearing for a prisoner, upon request, to a victim or next of kin, if the victim has died. Under existing law, the victim, members of the victim's immediate family, representatives designated by the victim, and specified prosecutors have a right to appear at the hearing in person, and may appear at the hearing by means of videoconferencing, as defined, if videoconferencing is available at the hearing site. This bill would provide that these individuals may also appear at any parole suitability hearing by means of audioconferencing, as defined, if audioconferencing is available at the hearing site.
