Essay / Pros and Cons of the Parole System - 698
Should we allow known killers to roam our streets freely? Should we let our family be exposed to rapists? Hello, on many occasions the question of our parole system has arisen to strengthen the laws and modify them. However, why should we constantly change something when it never gets better? Should the parole system be completely eradicated. In my opinion, it absolutely must be eradicated. Criminals have committed crimes while on parole more than once. Rehabilitation becomes a waste of time and money with no major results to show. Our parole officers aren't even doing their job properly and are putting our lives in danger. The failures of the parole system have become a matter of life and death and for that, our parole system must be eliminated for good. When is it acceptable to see evidence that criminals committed another crime while on parole? According to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, 64 per cent of criminals on parole reoffended within two years of release. This figure is alarming because more than half of conditionally released prisoners are still breaking the law and it's not for small problems.

For those selected, it is a problem that prison is a non-toxic and better living environment for them. For most of these people, they blend into society but commit heinous crimes. The Herald Sun is heavily involved in changes to the parole system. Offenders who break their parole will have to serve a three-year sentence before they can reconsider their release. Correctional Services Minister Edwar......in the middle of a paper......t of a prison exemption card'. All this to be good for a short period of time. Our parole officers and their superiors are not even doing their job to the best of their abilities and are putting our lives in danger. Hugh De Kretser, executive director of the Human Rights Law Center, explains: “Without parole, offenders would be released into the community without any supervision or conditions. This would compromise our security. However, the serious failures of the board of directors have had harmful consequences. Boards have not overturned serious parole violations, which has impacted the community because they commit serious crimes. In 2011-2012, the Adult Parole Board heard more than 10,000 cases during 187 meeting days, an average of 54 cases per day, meaning that on average only a few minutes can be allocated to each case . This alone significantly increases the risk of misconduct.
