The Canadian Prisoners Too Dangerous to Ever Be Released

I examine the country’s parole system and the legal changes that reshaped sentences for some of its most notorious prisoners. I tell the stories of Mark Twitchell, Elizabeth Wettlaufer, Justin Bourque, Alec Manassian, Dellen Millard, Bruce MacArthur, and Alan Legere, including the crimes that put them behind bars and the decisions that determined whether they could ever seek release. I also take you inside a Parole Board of Canada hearing, where risk, rehabilitation, institutional conduct, and victims’ statements all become part of the decision. In Canada, a parole date is not a promise—it is only a question.
