NY A11043

Amends Executive Law Section 259-i to permit inmates eligible for early release to receive conditional release if they have a final deportation order issued against them.

Allows the parole board to consider an inmate's pending deportation as a factor warranting earlier release from an indeterminate sentence or release from a determinate sentence, provided the inmate is not convicted of an A-I felony (other than Article 220 offenses) or a violent felony.

Requires the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to provide assurance that deportation proceedings will commence promptly upon the inmate's release and that the inmate will not be released from ICE custody except through deportation.

Conditions any early parole or release on the inmate's prompt deportation and requires ICE to provide the parole board reasonable opportunity to arrange execution of its warrant for retaking the person.

Takes effect immediately upon enactment.
