Parole - Season 1 - Episode 5
Three years ago, 35-year-old Ben went on a drink and drugs binge that ended with a failed bank robbery. Having been released and reoffended numerous times before, will his recent illness be enough to make him change for good? Ben’s mum Denise desperately wants him to be given another chance, but is his drugs addiction so uncontrolled that the parole board will keep him locked up to protect the public? 30-year-old Jai has been in and out of prison since the age of 15. In his own words, will the parole board see him as a ‘pest to society’, or has he matured enough to put his criminal past behind him?
