AS SEEN ON TV.MURDER.ARMED ROBBERY. SEXUAL OFFENCE.

These are just some of the cases Rob McKeon, member of the Parole Board, considers day to day.

When a prisoner is up for parole, a decision must be made. How will they behave when released? Will they cope? Will they reoffend?

Some people have terrible early life experiences setting them on a destructive path that's difficult to alter. Some can change, while others never do. Some will do everything they can to build a better life, others refuse to recognise they have done anything wrong. It's vital to assess the dangers and make the right call.

With over a decade on the Parole Board, these are the stories that have shaped a career where risks are high and the repercussions can be devastating.WELCOME TO THE WORLD OFTHE PAROLE BOARD.

Reviews for Parole: The Fate of Prisoners in My Hands and the High-stakes Risks of Getting it Wrong – As Seen on TV

"""The Parole Board started the process of greater transparency, through its documentary series Parole which provided accessible insight into the way decisions are reached. This book goes a step further and provides a much more detailed view of the Board's work, and how the decisions are reached. Members like Rob McKeon go to great time and effort to fairly decide, based on the evidence and the law, whether a prisoner's continued detention is necessary for the protection of the public and I hope that this book helps improve understanding of the important decisions they make."" --Martin Jones CBE, HM Chief Inspector of Probation"
