Topic > Parole Should Be Abolished - 1700 , New York . Its process provides for early conditional release from prison for convicted criminals, after part of their prison sentence has been served, and they are deemed to be eligible for parole based on factors such as: conduct while in prison, rehabilitative efforts/progress , type of crime, and remorse for their crime. Its use has expanded to many states and has now become the primary way offenders are released from prisons and correctional facilities. Unfortunately, parole is not always granted to deserving prisoners, thus putting society at risk of repeat crimes that often outweigh the benefits of parole, therefore parole should be abolished and prisoners should be forced to complete their entire sentences. Inmates are usually sentenced based on the severity of their crimes, as well as their mental intentions at the time of the act. For example: a person who commits murder intentionally expects to take the life of another in unscrupulous disregard for human life, and knows that the very act he has decided to commit will certainly lead to death.

It would be worth keeping these criminals behind bars until they complete their sentences if it meant saving even one innocent life or sparing someone a harmful and unforgettable experience. In conclusion, parole serves to benefit the prisoner seeking freedom, while society rarely benefits from the progress or efforts made by parolees in the community.
