Grits for Breakfast: Parole rates rising, especially for aggravated sex offenders
I volunteer at a men's unit and one thing that I am noticing (no data to back it up just my personal observation) is that more guys are making parole that have served twenty or thirty years or more. Alot of my inmates have served since their teens or early twenties. It's good to see them getting a chance to be successful in the free world in their forties and fifties while they still have some opportunity to make a life for themselves and spend time with their aging parents and family.
Obviously this is also a win for the system if these guys can be successful on parole and not have to be supported into their old age by TDC.
