Episode synopsis
Forty-five-year-old Jon has been locked up for 19 years after violently robbing three students in 2004. He is a veteran of six previous parole hearings, but has an intense period of therapy changed him enough for the board to give him a chance this time? Bethany, 23, breached her Criminal Behaviour Order in 2020 after repeatedly threatening to throw herself off motorway bridges. Can she convince the parole board that she isn’t a threat to herself and the public any longer?
