N.Y. Correction Law § 876: Eligibility for reduction of sentence, parole or conditional release

§ 876. Eligibility for reduction of sentence, parole or conditional

release. Nothing in this article shall be construed to prejudice the

eligibility of any prisoner participating in a work release program for

the purposes of discretionary reduction of sentence, parole or

conditional release except absconding from work release as defined by

section 205.16 of the penal law; provided, however, that the

participation of any prisoner in such program may be considered

favorably for such purposes if such participation has assisted in the

rehabilitation of such prisoner.
