Is the prison parole system broken?

Dr Paul Wood, convicted of murder as an 18-year-old, is one of the first parolees in New Zealand to have all of their conditions dropped.

He believes prisoners aren't receiving the support they need after release to help them reintegrate into society.

Former Pathways Trust Re-integrations Manager Carey Ewing joined Simon Barnett & James Daniels on the programme.
