Conditional release of geriatric prisoners. Allows any prisoner serving a sentence imposed for a felony offense, other than a Class 1 felony, who has reached the age of 60 or older to petition the Parole Board for conditional release without regard to the number of years of his sentence he has served. Current law allows a 60-year-old prisoner to petition the Board after serving at least 10 years and a 65-year-old prisoner to petition the Board after serving at least five years of his sentence.

Geriatric prisoners; those at 60 may petition Parole Board for conditional release.
