Parole; make individuals under house arrest not eligible for.
SB 2244 would have amended Mississippi law to explicitly prohibit individuals enrolled in the Intensive Supervision Program or Home Detention from being eligible for parole. This change would have directly affected people serving sentences under these community-based supervision programs, preventing them from seeking early release through parole. The bill added a new provision (subsection h) to parole eligibility rules, making participation in these programs a permanent barrier to parole consideration. The bill was referred to the Corrections committee but died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
