A surface look at some of Britain's prisoners, who are going through the parole process. Annually in England and Wales there are approximately 16000 cases a year, with 4000 of those getting their parole.
Every single episode is revealing, introducing the viewer to the convicted person, explaining why they're in prison, and shows the outcome of the parole hearing.
It reminded me of CSI Forensics from The BBC, it's a fly on the wall procedural docu series, it's definitely an interesting watch, it gives us a surface look at the process, its successes and failures, and identifies the challenges in place, and introduces us to some of the parole officers.
It could have gone a little bit deeper, I came away with lots of questions, I wanted to know more about some of the processes and procedures, however the way it was done, it was a straightforward and easy watch.
As for the subjects, some seemed like decent people, some not so, you'll realise that mental health plays a big big part for many.
Bravo BBC, this was a good series.
8/10.
