Prisoners out on parole often commit other offences. That is an inescapable fact. No country has devised a system so perfect that every convict released under a parole-type scheme leads a law-abiding life thereafter. In England and Wales, the media seem keen to feed us a constant diet of overheated stories listing offences that have been committed by parolees.
They have two easy targets to blame – the parole board for releasing them in the first place, and the probation service for not supervising them sufficiently to prevent their reoffending. Both accusations are often exaggerated or factually wrong, but public concern is real.
