Attached and below is a copy of the letter NV-CURE sent to Governor
Sandoval, with a copy to Attorney General Masto, regarding the
composition of the Board of Parole Commissioners.
Please
review the below letter and, should you deem it appropriate, write a
letter, e-mail, or telephone Governor Sandoval or Senator Segerblom
regarding the limitation imposed by NRS 213.108(6) on the number of
former prison people that may be Members of the Parole Board and request
that Chairman Bisbee and one other former prison person be removed from
the Parole Board.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Governor Sandoval:
NV-CURE
is writing to bring to your attention an apparent violation of the provision of
NRS 213.108(6), which prohibits more than two members of the Board of Parole
Commissioners (Parole Board) from the field of prisons (NRS 213.108(5)(a)(1).
The
current composition of the Parole Board consists of at least three, and
possibly four, members from the field of prisons. Those members are: Connie
Bisbee; Tony Corda; Adam Endel; and, possibly, Eddie Gray. According to their
biographies on the Parole Board website, each of these members have a
background in the field of prisons. One, or possibly two, of the referenced
members should be removed from the Parole Board to comply with the provisions
of NRS 213.108(6).
NV-CURE
suggest that one of the members of the Parole Board to be removed be Connie
Bisbee, as she is the Chairperson of the Parole Board and she is responsible
for Parole Board compliance with the laws of the State of Nevada relating to
the Parole Board.
Please
advise NV-CURE of your decision in this matter.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
