Parole has not been an option since the '70s in Illinois, but that may change.
Incarcerated people in Illinois haven't had the ability to get onto parole since the '70s. But a bill in Springfield is working to bring it back: providing parole hearings for inmates who've served at least 20 years in prison. Advocates say parole eligibility could provide hope for inmates serving lengthy sentences.
