Thomas CaseyGUEST
And, um, And then we approve it and out they come and they meet with us.
Thomas CaseyGUEST
And, um, if they mess up, um, you know, we, we do have discretion to work with them, but ultimately if they really screw up, they go back to prison and answer to the parole board.
Thomas CaseyGUEST
So, and they can extend, they can send them, send them back for a while or they can kick them back out.
Thomas CaseyGUEST
Give them a, good talking to or, or smoke them and max them out and they can do all the rest of the seven.

Megyn KellyHOST
The Rasmussen family joins on a video screen.
Megyn KellyHOST
For 37 years, Connie and Theresa had waited for Stephanie Lazarus to say the words.
Megyn KellyHOST
Connie remembers hearing them.
Connie WilkinsonGUEST
The first time that we heard that she w- admitted that she was it, murdered Sherry, was at the first parole hearing.
Connie WilkinsonGUEST
Up to that, she exercised every appeal and every way possible to get out of, out of prison.
David FranciochelliSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're talking about murder.
Susan SpencerCORRESPONDENT
The Ohio State Parole Board today faces a momentous decision.
Susan SpencerCORRESPONDENT
Should it recommend clemency for a convicted murderer?
David FranciochelliSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I submit to you, this murder is one of the worst murders I've ever seen.
David FranciochelliSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We're here again, third time for clemency, and if you truly think about it, this defendant has never acknowledged what she did.
Susan SpencerCORRESPONDENT
1994, prosecutors charged 17-year-old Rebecca Hopfer with killing her newborn baby.
Susan SpencerCORRESPONDENT
You told the parole board that this was the worst murder case you had seen in 20 years.
Susan SpencerCORRESPONDENT
Were you really serious about that?
Charlie WolfGUEST
For sure.
Charlie WolfGUEST
And so B.O.A.R. will do that.
Charlie WolfGUEST
Okay.
Charlie WolfGUEST
And also for anybody who thinks that the B.O.A.R. process that you can coach someone through B.O.A.R. and that they don't have insight, that's what it's called.
Charlie WolfGUEST
That's the word for B.O.A.R. insight.
Charlie WolfGUEST
And that's what they can deny you based off of is a lack of insight into your crime or causative factors or whatever.
Charlie WolfGUEST
And so you cannot fake insight.
Darren JamesHOST
The 59-year-old shared with Teesside Live, "I don't believe she should have been released after the prison psychologist recommended an open prison first, as she was highly recom- highly likely to re-offend.
Darren JamesHOST
The Parole Board need to take accountability that they dismissed recommendations and made the wrong decision.
Darren JamesHOST
I hope with all my heart that she stays in prison until the day she dies.
Darren JamesHOST
There is no place in society for her.
Darren JamesHOST
She has proven that by being recalled only two weeks after her release." Back in June, the Parole Board approved Maria's release, release on license, even though offender managers assessed her as a major social risk.
Darren JamesHOST
The deal was for her to be GPS-tracked for the next 12 months and follow a strict curfew.
Darren JamesHOST
Lynn went on to add that, "I just hope another family doesn't have to go through what we have gone through.
Georgia AthanaselisHOST
Welcome to this episode of The Call Over.
Georgia AthanaselisHOST
I'm Georgia Athanaselis and today we're joined by Peter Shields, whose career has included 14 years as a member of the Queensland Police Service, 19 years as a criminal defence solicitor and seven years as the Deputy President of the Parole Board Queensland.
Georgia AthanaselisHOST
He has spent 40 years working on the front lines of the criminal justice system and has also become a public voice on parole transparency, evidence-based decision making and community safety.
Georgia AthanaselisHOST
In this conversation, we explore his broad experience within the criminal justice system, the lessons he has learned and the values that have shaped his work.
Peter ShieldsGUEST
And then after that, I was promoted to detective sergeant and spent the rest of my time as a detective sergeant in the major crime unit, a lot of time in armed robbery, and then some other operations that were covert.
Georgia AthanaselisHOST
There's a wealth of experience there.
Georgia AthanaselisHOST
What did you learn during your time as a policeman that impacted the way you practiced as a lawyer and later on as a decision maker on the parole board?
Peter ShieldsGUEST
Probably not so much as a decision maker on the parole board, but throughout my practice and also in my personal life is I learned very early on that people react to the way you treat them.
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
To me, it's just like tuning a car, tune me up and I'm on to the next thing.
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
So again, I'm working for the parole board now and I'm busier than ever doing stuff on the parole board.
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
And it's great because the parole board allows you as an independent member, you can work from home.
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
You can do as much work as you want or as little work as you want, depending upon what you're doing.
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
And I'd like to start training in September now, just in the next month or so, actually start training to be a chair so I can share the actual hearings myself and sit and do that.
9 MINS LATER
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
It took me away and gave me a different headspace.
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
I think the thing is you do have to find something, though, to keep you interested.
Keith McCoubreyGUEST
You've got to find something that you want to do that you're interested in doing and i've been lucky with the parole board that i i i am interested in that but also i think the final tip is you need some hobbies you need to have friends and hobbies and we haven't talked about it but i've took off beekeeping this year so i've had my first beehive this year and i've taken the first little bit of honey off this year and that to me has given me a huge amount of pleasure to see and manage a set of bees and what they do and actually how important they are to the environment and all that sort of stuff but That's sort of given me something else to learn about, but it's in a hobby.
Rita CosbyHOST
Judge Weinberg,
Richard WeinbergPANELIST
you have a question about parole board, too.
Richard WeinbergPANELIST
So when are we going to get a cleanup of the parole board, which lets cop killers out, over 40 of them? And how about they just released somebody a little while ago, and within a few weeks he killed two more people.
Richard WeinbergPANELIST
Why don't they face the reality that parole boards are not social workers, their job is to protect the public? What about that issue, Scott?
Scott MunroGUEST
Well, who is the parole board appointed by? The governor's.
Scott MunroGUEST
OK, so the past governors, listen, the bottom line is here.
Scott MunroGUEST
The only thing we could do is open a dialogue up with the with the president governor and say, this is what's going on.
Tim OwenHOST
In other words, sentenced to an indeterminate, a life sentence, but with a tariff sometimes of two years.
Tim OwenHOST
And then the complete lack of resources within the prison system to enable those prisoners to have access to offending behavior courses, sexual offending treatment courses or whatever in order to demonstrate to the parole board that they were safe to be released.
Tim OwenHOST
And so we took that litigation all the way to the House of Lords and we lost on the argument that detention became unlawful under Article 5 of the European Convention of Human Rights.
Tim OwenHOST
because the government or parliament had enacted a scheme which then was incapable of fairly dealing with these prisoners and in effect dooming them to remain in custody for years beyond their tariff because they were never able to demonstrate to the parole board because they'd had access to these offending behavior courses that they were rehabilitated and they were safe to release now So we lost that.
Tim OwenHOST
If we'd won it, the prison service or the government would have been forced to provide the resources because otherwise, politically, it would be outrageous because people would have to be released with habeas corpus applications on the basis that detention was unlawful.
Tim OwenHOST
But anyway, we lose.
Tim OwenHOST
And Alex Norris yesterday, all he simply said was, we're going to have to have primary legislation at some point in the future.
Tim OwenHOST
I want everyone to cooperate because we all agree that this is an outrageous system.
Anne Marie SchubertGUEST
Thank you so much.
Brian MarvelHOST
Well, let's just get right to it and talk about these regulations that the Parole Board is coming up.
Brian MarvelHOST
And I know we've had many conversations about this.
Brian MarvelHOST
And, you know, you basically have some bureaucrats that are creating policy that they were never elected to do.
Anne Marie SchubertGUEST
Many people believe that the sex offenders will actually sue themselves to try to have this benefit.
Anne Marie SchubertGUEST
But basically what they say is as long as you've done 25 years, we're going to refer you for this kind of quasi-parole process.
Anne Marie SchubertGUEST
The problem is, is the parole board has the authority only to deal with parole.
Anne Marie SchubertGUEST
Well, if you're serving LWOP, life without parole, you don't get parole.
