N1  - Photography, Kate Davis, Evan Eames, Steve Olsson; editor, Debra Anderson; music, Joel Harrison; Host: Bill Kurtis; Originally broadcast on television as an episode of Investigative reports
N2  - Discusses problems in the U.S. parole system where those who have been convicted of a violent crime are released on parole only to commit more murderous crimes. Examines the cases of Arthur Bomar, Lawrence Singleton, and David White Jones, and looks at the backlash against the parole system caused by these sensational cases. Discusses the fear of victims that their attackers will be released on parole and return to haunt them. Examines Florida's experience, in which putting an end to the parole system combined with the pressures of prison overcrowding resulted in prisoners being released early without the supervision of a parole officer. Shows that public criticism of the parole system makes it difficult for parole boards to give second chances to offenders like Darryl King, who do seem to deserve a second chance
