ALBANY – Paroled drug offenders are technically in “custody” of a united parole and state corrections department, and therefore can apply for resentencing under new drug law reforms, an appellate panel in Brooklyn held Wednesday.
The unanimous decision, by the Appellate Division, Second Department, allows drug crime parolees to petition for resentencing under the Drug Law Reform Act of 2009, which could dramatically decrease the time they are supervised by a parole officer.
