Parole

As futures hang in the balance, what would you decide?

Every year, thousands of potentially dangerous criminals are considered for parole before the end of their sentence. Some of them are released onto our streets and into our communities. Charged with deciding who gets released from prison and who stays locked up is the Parole Board. This format tackles the fundamental questions underlying the nation’ s justice system, around crime, punishment, reform, rehabilitation, repentance, and morality, and ultimately puts the viewer at the centre of the debate.
