The board looks at the cases of Tom, a cocaine addict and dealer, Ruben, who bit another man's ear off, and Mark, who disagrees with his sentence for threatening to kill.
34-year-old Ruben is facing the parole board after serving a sentence for biting a man’s ear off. Can he persuade the board he is a changed man, or will his offending past catch up with him?
Cocaine addictΒ TomΒ has made close to a million pounds dealing the drug. His mum has changed her career and retrained to be a hypnotherapist in orderΒ to try and help her son beat his addiction. Will the parole board be convinced that, after 70 days clean and with a supportive mum at home, Tom has met the test for release, or will they decide he needs to stay in prison?Β
32-year-oldΒ MarkΒ disagrees with his sentence for threatening to kill and denies large portions of the crime that led him to prison. Will his desire to see his kids for Christmas be enough to convince the parole board he deserves a second chance, or will his chequered past continue to dictate his future?
