- Description
A man takes a chocolate Easter egg out of its box and thinks that it seems hollow. The Easter egg represents the 'Parole Board' and it says 'Freed dangerous crims? No worries we'll keep an eye on them' Context - The main function of the 42-strong New Zealand Parole Board is to make decisions about the release (or otherwise) of offenders eligible for parole. By law, the paramount consideration for the board in every case is the ``safety of the community'', but they are also bound to ensure offenders aren't detained any longer than is consistent with the safety of the community. Most prisoners serving a sentence over two years are entitled to a hearing each year after serving a third of their sentence, or their minimum non-parole period. (Sunday Star Times 27 March 2011) Probably refers specifically to the case John Gillies, 36, who was jailed for seven years in 2005 for assaulting two policemen and possessing cocaine and methamphetamine. He has 106 convictions, 34 of them for violence, including the 1993 screwdriver stabbing of Gisborne policeman Nigel Hendrikse. Gillies is to be released from prison, despite concerns about his propensity for violence.
