Question

Consider these cases and determine whether an offender's release has merit. Explain your answer in one to two paragraphs for each case study

Marie is a 55-year-old female who has served 30 years of a 20-year-to-life sentence for murder. She was convicted of killing her two young children (two and four-year-olds). She reported that her live-in boyfriend would not agree to stay with her as long as she had children. She chose to kill the children to maintain that relationship. She has maintained a near-perfect prison record and is considered by authorities a model inmate. She reports great remorse for her actions. The prison chaplain has counseled her for many years and states that she has been "born again" and "forgiven" for her crimes and sins. Marie works as a chaplain's assistant in the institution and is well thought of by both prisoners and prison officials. If paroled, she will work for Prison Ministries in her hometown and will be provided with a place to stay by her employers.
