The three most important criteria in making a parole release decision would be public safety, offenders are a good risk or bad risk, and finally whether the offender is ready to get involved with the world already. Public safety is important as for that reason offenders are put into prison. Secondly, it’s important to consider that whether offender is worth taking risk. What if he fails in parole? It’s better to send those in parole who would succeed in parole. Lastly, it is important that offender is ready to face the world. In most cases after parole the offender commit a more serious crime. Therefore, it is important to confirm that.
