The Gravest of Mistakes

Episode 4 of 4

Natasha was 16 years old when she stabbed a man to death, and the panel need to decide if she can now be moved to an open prison.

Natasha was 16 years old when she stabbed a man to death, and 13 years after receiving a life sentence, she now has the chance to be moved to an open prison where she will come into contact with the public.

In 2007, Carl was considered dangerous enough to be given a sentence of imprisonment for public protection after committing two crimes while under the influence of drugs. Only the parole board can release Carl, and they have done so five times in total. But on each occasion, Carl has been recalled to prison for poor behaviour or drug use. Can Carl convince the parole board he is now clean, and has the recent death of his father changed his attitude towards crime?
