Adult Parole Board Annual Report 2020-21
The Adult Parole Board Annual Report 2020-21 has been tabled in Parliament.
Purpose and benefits of parole
Parole provides prisoners with a structured, supported and supervised transition so that they can adjust from prison back into the community, rather than returning straight to the community at the end of their sentence without supervision or support.
By supporting prisoners to return to the community under supervision toward the end of their sentence, parole’s main purpose is to increase community safety.
