The Louisiana Committee on Parole granted parole to Waukes Young on June 26, 2025, conditional on completing mandated DOC programming and paying a $100 prerelease fee.

Panel members reviewed Young's statement that he had been keeping distance from negative influences in custody and noted staff reports that he had not caused problems while detained. Cheryl Cook from the Southwest Transitional Work Program told the panel the facility had substance-abuse and prerelease classes, though Young had not yet completed them. Panel member Mr. Barra recorded a vote to grant parole conditional upon completion of DOC substance-abuse programming and payment of the $100 prerelease fee; the other panelists concurred.

Panel direction required Young to complete the named DOC programs; once programming and the fee are complete, DOC and probation will process his release. The panel also instructed probation and parole to verify completion and report back as part of the release process.
