While parole is a provision that humanises an otherwise rigid penal system and is rightfully granted in several instances, in cases of repeat offenders, especially those accused of causing bodily harm, the parameters should be stringent enough to protect the purported survivors as well as those who could be harmed in the future. If authorities are inclined to grant parole, then relevant conditions must be imposed to ensure this. In this case, the police and prosecution must ensure that a water tight case is built and that the case is fast tracked. Justice must be ensured for the bereaved family.
