“…Keith Bottomley, a member from 1980–1982, also wrote a number of important articles in the early years reviewing the process. By 1972, he was already pointing out that ‘much bolder thinking and a greater self-confidence’ were needed ‘to work out a rational philosophy, not based on political expediency but, hopefully, supported by research findings, and to apply it consistently and fairly in all cases’ (Bottomley, 1972: 91). By 31 December 1970, the parole system had dealt with more than 25,000 review cases; 5200 (20%) had been recommended for release by the Board.…”

This article is written as part of a special issue of the European Journal of Probation, which seeks not simply to describe and to critique ‘parole’ as it has evolved over time, but to focus on the justifications and the actors involved in parole decision-making and supervision. This article explores the changing face of ‘parole’ in England and Wales. The Parole Board today has little in common with the Parole Board of 1967. The characteristics of the prisoners who appear before panels of the Board have also changed. ‘Parole’ is now a very different process, no longer ‘early conditional release’, but what might better be described as ‘delayed conditional release’. This requires a fundamental re-analysis of its purpose and the justifications for its use.
