First of all, when someone has been put on parole that many times and continues to have his paroles revoked, breaks the rules, goes back to prison, commits more crimes and then they put him back on day parole, he's been in the system for so long that he knows what to say to get his parole. Then, he goes out and he breaks the conditions of his parole. It's happened so many times. We're constantly going to these hearings and having to fight to keep him in there, because we know he's going to do something again. He was just gone for three weeks.
He may be older, but he's very capable. He's an able-bodied man, and if he ran into something like needing money, it's not hard for him to go and repeat what he's already done. He's never shown remorse.
We aren't told what's gone on until months after the incident. Just last week, they informed us that the parole officer will be the one to decide if he goes back to day parole with extra conditions. If the parole officer choses to continue the suspension, then it will go to the Parole Board to make the final decision, but we don't get a say in that. There's not going to be another hearing. They're going to make the decision and the family is left out. We aren't told anything.
