In case NY wasn't already bad enough, the liberal state legislature has liberated parole. No longer shall a parolee have to sweat over drug testing, robbing poeople, or non-premeditated murder; they can do whatever they want while on parole per NY's "Less is more" act.

That article will say one thing, but it will mean another. It says they won't go back to jail for "non-violent parole violations," but many NYers aren't suckers and we know that the word "violent" has a different definition from
the Merriam-Webster version.

From here on out, parole means finished with the D.O.C. unless you plan to kill someone, kill them, and then get caught with the plans in your pocket.

What does this do for crime victims? What does this do for potential crime victims? I'm searching but I can't find those answers..

What does this do for Democrats in NY? I don't know, but it looks like they think that the majority of our voters are just as scumbaggy as they are. We're not! All the crazy new laws in this state are going to be reversed with the push of a button as soon as we get a Republican governor.

BTW: If you ever thought this state might be a fun place to visit, that will depend on your definition of "fun!"

Time will tell. It didn't take long for cashless bail (2020) to erase everyone's fear of going to jail.

Now, instead of focusing on a constructive return to society, inmates can look forward to getting back to the things they enjoy doing most of all. :)

With cashless bail, don't they still have to have someone willing to "post
the $0 bail" and who will legally be on the hook if they skip bail?

For some serious crimes, they set a really high amount to keep them off the streets between their arrest and their eventual trial. For others, they
don't set it high enough to stop someone from possibly paying it anyway.
If it was me posting the "free bail," I would be more worried about the
accused skipping town and me being fined, or going to jail, when they don't show up for their trial.

That might be the case here, but I haven't heard anything about those rules.
It would be a nice thing to do for the crime victims (to require some sort of babysitter) and I like to be optimistic but I can't imagine that ever working well.

anyway. If it was me posting the "free bail," I would be more worried about the accused skipping town and me being fined, or going to jail,

I guess it could be a good system sorta, but troublemakers aren't always very loyal to their friends and/or family. There are plenty of players out there
who will be happy to walk all over someone who tried to help them.
