Abstract
With the continuing problem of overcrowded prisons, parole board officials have been under increasing pressure to release prisoners before the natural termination of their sentences. As a consequence, the public suffers the risk that the parolee, once released, will commit a violent crime. If this should occur, the question then becomes whether the injured individual can, as a result, hold the parole board civilly liable for the negligent release or supervision of the parolee.
