[QUOTE="donna723, post: 177374, member: 1883"] Jo, I'm so glad he was denied parole! It sounds like both you and difficult child did great! I've worked in a close security State prison for the last 22 years and our parole hearings are held at the other end of the hall that our offices are in. Trust me on this one ... they are ALL remorseful, they have ALL changed for the better, they ALL see the error of their ways, and they have ALL managed to find God! And they ALL says exactly what they think the parole board wants to hear, whether they mean it or not. They say anything that they think will help sway the decision in their favor. But the people on the parole board are not fools and they've heard it all before. Statements from the victim can have a big impact, but they go by other things too. The inmate's attitude has a lot to do with it - like you said, does he seem genuinely concerned with the victim or just himself. Input from the staff carries a lot of weight too. They look at the inmates work record and the number of disciplinary write-ups he's had. And many times they deny parole simply because the offense was a serious one and they believe that he needs to do more time. So glad it worked out the way it did, and I hope that attending the hearing will have a beneficial affect on your daughter. [/QUOTE]
