"""The Parole Board started the process of greater transparency, through its documentary series Parole which provided accessible insight into the way decisions are reached. This book goes a step further and provides a much more detailed view of the Board's work, and how the decisions are reached. Members like Rob McKeon go to great time and effort to fairly decide, based on the evidence and the law, whether a prisoner's continued detention is necessary for the protection of the public and I hope that this book helps improve understanding of the important decisions they make."" --Martin Jones CBE, HM Chief Inspector of Probation"
