California Expands Parole But Suitability Drops

California expanded parole opportunities over the last decade, increasing annual hearings from 5,226 in 2018 to 9,017 in 2022, then about 8,000 in 2023, while prison population fell from 128,000 in 2018 to about 90,000 today. Despite that, parole suitability rates fell from 39% in 2018 to below 25% in 2025, with experts citing an aging eligible population, challenges for sex-offenders, and broader dossier scrutiny.
