Governor Brown signed SB 261 into law, extending Youth Offender Parole up to age 23. Thousands of young adults in California prisons now have a real chance at coming home. Senate Bill 261 extends youth parole through age 22, recognizing that young people deserve a second chance. It builds on the capacity of young people to turn their lives around and not be defined by the worst thing they have ever done. Please see Youth Offender Parole Guide  for more information about this law.
