'PAROLE: SERIES 2' IS BACK THIS SEPTEMBER ON BBC2 AND BBC IPLAYER

With unique access to Britain’s parole boards and prisoners, Parole follows some of the 16,000 criminals who each year are considered for parole through a series of hearings, with around 4,000 released back into society. It also looks at how members of parole boards across England and Wales decide who gets released from prison.

Filmed over several months, the second series will also hear from prisoners serving imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentences. IPP prisoners have no confirmed end date to their sentence, and the parole board must carefully weigh up issues around public safety when they make their decision.

Parole is back this September.
