Parole - To Be or Not to Be Free

Parole is the one thing and sometimes the only thing that felons in jail look forward to during their sentences. There are instances where certain criminals that commit certain crimes do not even have the chance of parole. This is comforting in terms of safety because criminals such as those without oppurtunity of parole are put away for good. But in other cases the ones that do have the ability to win over the parole board can go free before their sentences say. Felons with this chance at freedom often display the best behavior before they have the meeting and hope to convince that they really have changed for the better. There are more times when the board turns down the felon than actually grant the man or woman freedom.

There is no saying how the criminals will be once they are free. Once out of prison, they have a set of rules assigned to them by their parole officer. The slightest foul up can land them back to where they were in the first place, locked up. This would be the ultimate setback and the number of people that violate parole is staggering. All and all, parole is positive in the sense that it is given to deserving men and women. Certain people deserve second chances and if the chance comes they should be able to grasp it if it is meant to be. The parole board is always the deciding factor when it comes to granting the right person freedom. They know to look for the so called phonies that are trying to take stabs at getting let free. Those are the ones that will cause the problems on the outside all over again. This is why they usually get turned down. Because just like every other person in jail, their all innocent, remember?
