Position highlights
The Board of Pardons and Paroles is an integral part of the legal system and plays a critical role in Connecticut's criminal justice policy. 

The Board is tasked with determining which parole eligible offenders, with appropriate and effective supports and interventions, are likely to return to their communities as productive and contributing members and remain so. The Board is also called upon to decide which offenders deserve to be legally forgiven for their past actions based on their demonstrated, successful reengagement with their communities.

We seek to utilize research-based assessment tools which measure both an offender's risks for criminal behavior and identifies what needs must be met if they are expected to change that behavior.

In accordance with section 54-124a of Connecticut General Statute, "The members of the board shall be qualified by education, experience or training in the administration of community corrections, parole or pardons, criminal justice, criminology, the evaluation or supervision of offenders or the provision of mental health services to offenders."

If selected, you will be required to appear and testify before the legislature's Joint Committee on Judiciary as part of the confirmation process.

These are full-time, unclassified positions, working out of our Waterbury office.

About us
The Board of Pardons and Paroles is an autonomous State agency with administrative support provided by the Department of Correction. The Board possesses discretionary authority to grant pardons for criminal convictions and to grant parole to eligible and appropriate offenders in the community under supervision as a means of supporting their successful reintegration into law abiding society.

The Board's mission is to facilitate the successful reintegration of suitable offenders into the community and provide relief to those individuals who have demonstrated the necessary life changes to become productive members of society.
