Felix Hernandez told the panel July 17, 2025, that he preferred to serve his full sentence rather than be released early. The panel recorded his request and denied parole at his own request.

Panel members confirmed Hernandez’s custody status and noted he had not completed required sex‑offender treatment. The chair and other members concurred with denying parole at his request; one member observed that Hernandez should complete the required treatment if he later seeks parole.

Decision: Denied at the offender’s request. The panel encouraged Hernandez to complete available programming; staff reported he had not yet taken required sex‑offender treatment.
