The Adult Parole Board (the Board) ran its mock parole hearing at Law Week 2016.
The mock parole hearing follows the story of a prisoner from when applies to and when he is on parole. When the prisoner later breaches his parole conditions, the Board determines whether to cancel his parole.
"Parole, you decide" featured members of the Board who discuss the facts of the case as they would in a real Board meeting. Please note that as this video was filmed during Law Week 2016, seven of the eight members have left the Board.
