Voices in Justice: Parole Reform in Scotland

Currently, long-term prisoners, individuals subject to a life sentences, and individuals subject to an Order for Lifelong Restriction, who are recommended by the Parole Board to be released from prison are subject to licence conditions. 

The Parole Board, in recommending conditions, will consider information and evidence received, for example, from justice social work, risk assessments from prison establishments and representations received from victims.  We would like to hear your views on if there are ways that Scotland’s current licence conditions could be improved.
