Exclusive | New York’s parole board stacked with lefty cronies earning $190K
The real issue is how the parole board members follow their personal agendas.
A Post examination of the 16-member panel — whose salaries have skyrocketed 87% since 2019 and who have freed 43 cop killers in the past eight years — is almost as disturbing as many of its decisions.

A Matter of Life: The Scope and Impact of Life and Long Term Imprisonment in the United States – The Sentencing Project
Overview
In the United States, the federal government and every state enforces sentencing laws that incarcerate people for lengths that will exceed, or likely exceed, the span of a person’s natural life. In 2024, almost 200,000 people, or one in six people in prison, were serving life sentences.1 The criminal legal system’s dependence on life sentences disregards research showing that extreme sentences are not an effective public safety solution.
This report represents The Sentencing Project’s sixth national census of people serving life sentences, which includes life with the possibility of parole; life without the possibility of parole; and virtual life sentences (sentences reaching 50 years or longer). The report finds more people were serving life without parole (LWOP) in 2024 than ever before: 56,245 people were serving this “death by incarceration” sentence, a 68% increase since 2003. While the total number of people serving life sentences decreased 4% from 2020 to 2024, this decline trails the 13% downsizing of the total prison population. Moreover, nearly half the states had more people serving a life sentence in 2024 than in 2020.
