Today, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak signed an emergency directive permitting the Board of Parole Commissioners to conduct virtual parole hearings for all parole eligible inmates. Nevada law requires some public participation in certain parole hearings and proceedings. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Nevada’s correctional facilities have limited public access to protect the health and safety of its inmates, making it difficult to hold those parole hearings.
