(A) Discretionary release on parole shall not be granted merely as a
reward for good conduct or efficient performance of duties while
confined but after considering if there is a reasonable probability
that, if such inmate is released, he will live and remain at liberty
without violating the law, and that his release is not incompatible with
the welfare of society and will not so deprecate the seriousness of his
crime as to undermine respect for law. In making the parole release
decision, the guidelines adopted pursuant to subdivision four of section
two hundred fifty-nine-c of this article shall require that the follow-
ing be considered: (i) the institutional record including program goals
and accomplishments, academic achievements, vocational education, train-

sentence pursuant to section 70.70 or section 70.71 of the penal law for

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY'S OR OFFICER'S EXPERIENCE WITH THE INMATE AND
WHICH SUCH OFFICER BELIEVES MAY BE RELEVANT TO ANY DECISION OF THE
BOARD. The board shall provide toll free telephone access for crime
victims. In the case of an oral statement made in accordance with subdi-
vision one of section 440.50 of the criminal procedure law, the parole
board member shall present a written report of the statement to the
parole board. A crime victim's representative shall mean the crime
victim's closest surviving relative, the committee or guardian of such
person, or the legal representative of any such person. Such statement
submitted by the victim or victim's representative may include informa-
tion concerning threatening or intimidating conduct toward the victim,
the victim's representative, or the victim's family, made by the person
sentenced and occurring after the sentencing. Such information may
include, but need not be limited to, the threatening or intimidating
conduct of any other person who or which is directed by the person
sentenced. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, in making the
parole release decision for persons whose minimum period of imprisonment
was not fixed pursuant to the provisions of subdivision one of this
section, in addition to the factors listed in this paragraph the board
shall consider the factors listed in paragraph (a) of subdivision one of

this chapter, as provided for in subdivision (b) of this section, the
county in which such city is located may still impose those taxes
authorized under subdivision (a) or (b) of this section not pre-empted
