Parole Board Could Require No-Contact-with-Wife for One Year as a Condition

In upholding the Board of Parole’s determination that, as a condition of release on parole, petitioner, who had attacked his wife in the past, must refrain from any contact with his wife for one year and complete a domestic violence offenders program, the Third Department wrote:

…[T]the Board is vested with discretion to determine the conditions upon which an inmate is released, and its decision in that regard is not subject to judicial review if made in accordance with the law (see Executive Law §§ 259-c [2]; 259-i [5];…). Petitioners argue that the conditions at issue are unlawful, arbitrary and capricious, in that they lack a sufficient factual basis in the record and improperly impair their fundamental right to maintain a marital relationship. We disagree. Parole conditions that  are  “rationally  related  to  the inmate’s criminal history, past conduct and  future chances of recidivism” are not arbitrary and capricious ….   Moreover, petitioner’s fundamental rights to associate and marry may be restricted by  parole  conditions  that  are  “reasonably  related  to legitimate  penological  interests” … .  George v NYS Department of Corrections …, 516126, 3rd Dept 6-27-13
