HISTORICAL NOTE

The first paroles act in Nebraska bears the date April 10, 1893 and empowers the Governor to parole any prisoner who has served the minimum term provided by law for his first offense (except 1st or 2nd degree murder), and anyone serving time for murder in the first or second degree who has served 25 full years.

The Legislature of 1911 created the State Prison Board and the Advisory Board of Pardons. This board of three members appointed by the Governor, had power to establish rules and regulations for parole of prisoners in the penitentiary who had served minimum sentences fixed by law. This act repealed the first Parole Law of 1893. The functions of these boards were merged in the Department of Public Welfare in 1919.

A Nebraska Constitutional amendment adopted in 1920 created a Board of Pardons and designated the Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General as its members. The Legislature of 1937 passed the uniform act for the supervision of Nebraska prisoners paroled in other states.

In 1969 the Nebraska Legislature created a separate Board of Parole. The duties of this board are to review the status of every committed offender; determine the time of release on parole of committed offenders; fix the conditions of parole, revoking paroles, and issuing warrants for violators; determine the time of release from parole supervision; visiting and inspecting any facility (state or local) designed for detention of prisoners; and recommending parole legislation to the governor.

The Board of Pardons retained authority to pardon offenders. It has the power to remit fines and forfeitures and to grant respites, reprieves, pardons and commutations after conviction and judgement. The board received and considers applications for pardons, reprieves, commutations of sentence, and remission of fines and forfeitures.
