Just as Canada’s population has changed in the past four decades, so has its prison population. The increasing diversity among prisoners raises important questions about how we punish those who break the law. Parole in Canada is the first book to explore how concerns about Aboriginality, gender, and the multicultural ideal of “diversity” have been interpreted and used to alter parole policy and practice. Using the Parole Board of Canada as a case study, this book shows how some offender differences are selectively included in conditional release decision making, while the structures, practices, and power arrangements that would enable fundamental change remain unaltered.

The report proposes a set of guidelines for the systematic incorporation of this predictive technique into the decisionmaking processes of the National Parole Board. Offenders identified as 'good statistical risks' should be granted an operating 'presumption' in favor of full parole release at their initial date of eligibility, while 'poor risk' inmates should receive a 'presumption' against parole, but would be given priority status for a carefully planned program of graduated conditional releases.

A former parole officer shines a bright light on a huge yet hidden part of our justice system through the intertwining stories of seven parolees striving to survive the chaos that awaits them after prison in this illuminating and dramatic book. Prompted by a dead-end retail job and a vague desire to increase the amount of justice in his hometown, Jason Hardy became a parole officer in New Orleans at the worst possible moment. Louisiana’s incarceration rates were the highest in the US and his department’s caseload had just been increased to 220 “offenders” per parole officer, whereas the national average is around 100. Almost immediately, he discovered that the biggest problem with our prison system is what we do—and don’t do—when people get out of prison. Deprived of social support and jobs, these former convicts are often worse off than when they first entered prison and Hardy dramatizes their dilemmas with empathy and grace. He’s given unique access to their lives and a growing recognition of their struggles and takes on his job with the hope that he can change people’s fates—but he quickly learns otherwise. The best Hardy and his colleagues can do is watch out for impending disaster and help clean up the mess left behind. But he finds that some of his charges can muster the miraculous power to save themselves. By following these heroes, he both stokes our hope and fuels our outrage by showing us how most offenders, even those with the best intentions, end up back in prison—or dead—because the system systematically fails them. Our focus should be, he argues, to give offenders the tools they need to re-enter society which is not only humane but also vastly cheaper for taxpayers. As immersive and dramatic as Evicted and as revelatory as The New Jim Crow, The Second Chance Club shows us how to solve the cruelest problems prisons create for offenders and society at large.

1,825 Days of Hell is the shocking story of one mans fight to regain his self-respect, dignity, and livelihood against a government bureaucracy so bent on exerting total control over his movements and activities that it was willingand astonishingly ableto unilaterally revoke, without due process, his constitutional rights, including the most fundamental and cherished American right to freedom of speech. It is the tale of a harrowing journey through the US parole system, a mismanaged and bloated bureaucratic labyrinth of onerous regulations, restrictions, and reporting requirements that more than half of all parolees fail to complete, most of whom are returned to prisonmost often without committing any new criminal offenses! In 1,825 Days of Hell author Jerry Tanner takes on a corrupt and self-propagating US correctional system that deliberately and methodically thwarted his every effort to become a hardworking and productive member of society once again, despite having been one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the health-care industries in the history of two states: Alaska and Maine. A scathing expos of our hopelessly broken American parole system told from the perspective of someone who experienced and was victimized by it, this book is a must-read for every American who values and holds dear the rights and freedoms embodied in our Constitution. As the author states, the Department of Corrections in these United States is in peril of becoming, instead, the Department of Incarcerations.

Few people experience life inside of prison. Even fewer are charged with the formidable responsibility of deciding whether inmates should be released. In his twenty-four years on the Rhode Island Parole Board, Frederic G. Reamer has judged the fates of thousands of inmates, deciding which are ready to reenter society and which are not. It is a complicated choice that balances injury to victims and their families against an offender's capacity for transformation. With rich retellings of criminal cases—some banal, some brutal—On the Parole Board is a singular book that explains from an insider's perspective how a variety of factors play into the board's decisions: the ongoing effect on victims and their loved ones, the life histories of offenders, the circumstances of the crimes, and the powerful and often extraordinary displays of forgiveness and remorse. Pulling back the curtain on a process largely shrouded in mystery, Reamer lays bare the thorny philosophical issues of crime and justice and their staggering consequences for inmates, victims, and the public at large. Reamer and his colleagues often hope, despite encountering behavior at its worst, that criminals who have made horrible mistakes have the capacity for redemption. Yet that hope must be tempered with a realistic appraisal of risk, given the potentially grave consequences of releasing an inmate who may commit a future crime. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the complexities of the criminal justice system, the need to correct its injustices, and the challenges of those who must decide when justice has been served.
