Jesse Reid is a "lifer," sentenced to life in prison after he committed murder. The parole board is his only chance at proving that he can be functional in society again. The board's job is mainly to strike a balance between the prisoners' rights and the safety of the public. Impact takes a look at the elements being considered when a "lifer" is up for parole.
