For the first time, cameras have been permitted to record actual deliberations and decisions of the Parole Board. In this film the Board has four cases before it, which it would normally have discussed in secret. They are:
A case of arson, in which a young mother and three children were burned to death; a case of armed robbery at an airport where the robbers pretended to be the IRA; a case of smuggling - drugs were hidden in hired vans; a case of sexual assault on two young girls. In deciding whether to temper justice with mercy, the Board try to balance the needs of society against the needs of the prisoners.
