缅因州拒绝假释恢复法案,尽管宣传和计划可能举行全民投票,但1976年仍禁止假释。 Maine rejects parole restoration bill, keeping 1976 ban despite advocacy and plans for a potential voter referendum.

在1976年国家废除假释法案50年后, 缅因州立法者已经否决了一项恢复假释法案。 Maine lawmakers have rejected a bill to restore parole, 50 years after the state abolished it in 1976. 这项提案得到了包括Rep. Nina Milliken和前囚犯在内的倡导者的支持,但未能在司法委员会中获得牵引力。 The proposal, backed by advocates including Rep. Nina Milliken and former inmates, failed to gain traction in the Judiciary Committee. 总督。 Gov. Janet Mills和惩教署反对这一措施,并称监督社区监禁(SCCP)为充分替代措施,自2020年以来,600多人在社区服刑的最后30个月已获准服刑。 Janet Mills and the Department of Corrections opposed the measure, citing Supervised Community Confinement (SCCP) as a sufficient alternative, which has allowed over 600 people to serve the final 30 months of their sentences in the community since 2020. 批评者认为SCCP缺乏假释制度的独立性和好处,例如减刑和释放后的支持. Critics argue SCCP lacks the independence and benefits of a parole system, such as sentence reductions and post-release support. 律师说,许多主要人物认为假释仍然存在,并正在考虑未来的投票倡议,将这一问题提交给选民。 Advocates say many Mainers believe parole still exists and are considering a future ballot initiative to put the issue to voters.
