Parole; investigation prior to release, input from the attorney for the Commonwealth.

Summary

The bill obligates the Virginia Parole Board to inform the attorney for the Commonwealth in every jurisdiction where a prisoner’s offense occurred before deciding on parole. The attorney may then submit comments on how the release could affect that jurisdiction, and the board must consider those comments while retaining full decision‑making authority. This adds a formal step to the parole review process for inmates whose crimes span multiple jurisdictions.
