Yet Leroy Douglas is in for stealing a mobile phone 17 years ago? @Parole_Board #JusticeForIPPs will be seeking comment immediately

I am not surprised the spokesperson for @Parole_Board has an out of office email on. No doubt he is tired of answering my questions. Have forwarded it on to deputy plus general comms #JusticeForIPPs

Hi Sam,

We are not able to comment on the specifics of any of the cases that you have listed I’m afraid. We do produce summaries which give more information about why each decision (whether a release decision or a knockback, has been made) –

which you can request using the information below.

We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Ryan Herbert following an oral hearing.

Parole Board decisions are solely focused on whether a prisoner would represent a significant risk to the public after release. The panel will have carefully looked at a whole range of evidence, including details of the original evidence and any evidence of behaviour change.

We do that with great care and public safety is our number one priority

My reply:
If not willing to comment you should contact the family members and friends of those prisoners and tell them the arbitrary reasons why they have not got parole after 17 years when THEY have not murdered anyone.

I suggest you also read my last article and think about your complicity in this. Let me know if you want their email addresses and numbers.

Seems I have nothing to put in a new article so I will wait for the rest of the press to catch on. 

Best regards

Samantha
