How to use parole in a sentence?

1. Tim Michels:

   We need to have a shift in the cultural thinking of the parole commission.

2. Michelle Avan:

   In my son's case, they were all facing special circumstances… and those are being dismissed. They were all facing the death penalty or life without parole and now they're only facing 25 years with the possibility of parole, to me, that's a slap in the face. So I can see how the Avan family is upset about this. There are no consequences anymore.

   A death sentence in this state really means life without parole.

5. Christine Mumma:

   Daniel Green hasn't received justice since the day Daniel Green was arrested, so I didn't have much hope that it would start with the parole process.
