Parole boards should be held responsible for the crimes of the people they release. Being paroled should be a reward for the convict improving himself and developing prospects beyond prison. Most convicts shouldn’t get it...
I agree, it should be something that is achievable as a “carrot” for those convicts who can still be reformed, but it should never be taken for granted as something that is basically guaranteed as long as you don’t murder someone IN the prison.
