In this first episode of The Lede Graf, I do a quick deep dive into Parole Boards. Parole boards are often left out of the discussion when it comes to criminal justice reform. Now while there is a lot to discuss when it comes to parole boards, today I’m mainly going to focus on the political and cultural nature of the boards. And the story of Henry Montgomery.
