If he's truly interested in reducing parolee crime, he should show up and attend these meetings.

In any case, if there's information a parolee is using drugs or alcohol, that is definitely something we would like to know.

What we're examining in this investigation is if there were alternatives to automatically releasing him.

These are human beings who have a long history of failing to comply with laws, and were not going to say this is a cure-all. But we hope we can see at least a modest reduction.

We believe our employees in that unit were aware of that Supreme Court decision.

If he had gone to the board, they could have decided to continue his probation or reinstate the remaining two years on his original sentence for armed robbery.

There's not a shred of truth to that.

Our desire was that he be reviewed by the parole board for those serious violations. Unfortunately that did not occur.

We will definitely extradite him back once he's healed up from his injuries and dealt with his charges there. He's still an escaped prisoner from our area.
