All Sides with Ann Fisher - 10:00 AM - Criminal Justice: Ohio's Parole Board
 
Play
 
We're continuing our series on Ohio's criminal justice system, with a look at the process behind granting prisoners parole. The state has a very low parole rate, and many favor the alternative "judicial release," where inmates' sentences can be greatly reduced, but others fear it puts dangerous criminals back on the streets. We'll get a rare look this hour.

Guests:

David Singleton, executive director of the Ohio Justice and Policy Center
Cynthia Mausser, chair of the Ohio Parole Board
Raymond Brown, former inmate at Marion Correctional Institution, released through Ohio's judicial release program
