Oklahoma could release up to 14 prisoners at high risk for COVID-19.
126 individuals were classified as having severe medical needs, but only 14 met the eligibility requirements for medical parole.
Corrections officials say the inmates couldn’t be serving time for a violent crime, have a history of domestic violence or have to register as a sex offender upon release.
The state’s Pardon and Parole Board will hear an emergency medical parole docket on May 13.
