For one, we're not given a whole lot of notice before a parole hearing. Three weeks to a month is what we're given, which can make it hard.
Some people can't change their schedule, so they end up not going. I don't think that's fair, because a victim should be there. They should be there to fight for justice and to show that they're there, they're strong and they want to fight.
It's only short notice. Some people just can't arrange their schedule to get to these hearings.
