An inmate is ineligible for compassionate parole once the inmate reaches the parole eligibility date pursuant to § 24-15-5 or the inmate's initial parole date pursuant to § 24-15A-32. However, if an inmate previously referred by the secretary for compassionate parole continues to meet the criteria for compassionate parole consideration as outlined in § 24-15A-55 the factors listed in § 24-15A-57 shall be considered in any subsequent discretionary parole release decision.
