The Louisiana Board of Pardons and Parole convened on July 24, 2025, to conduct a parole hearing for inmate Javier Rebon at the Department of Corrections headquarters in Baton Rouge. The meeting began at 9:04 AM, led by Chairman Steve Prater, who introduced fellow board members and staff present at the meeting.

Rebon, who is seeking early release from his current sentence, was given the opportunity to present his case. He expressed gratitude for the chance to address the board and outlined his reasons for requesting parole. The hearing included a review of Rebon's behavior and disciplinary record while incarcerated, with Lieutenant Cathy Townsend from Catahoula Correctional Center providing insights into his demeanor.

The board also facilitated participation from supporters, with one individual, Jonathan Perot, present at headquarters and others joining via Zoom. Notably, there were no opposing voices during the hearing, which is often a critical aspect of parole discussions.

Following Rebon's presentation and the input from supporters, board member Carolus Stapleton was set to ask further questions before the board would deliberate and vote on the parole request. The meeting underscored the structured process of parole hearings, emphasizing the importance of both inmate accountability and community support in the decision-making process.
