Stefan Kiszko was wrongfully convicted of this terrible crime and locked up for 16 years. Because he maintained his innocence during his sentence he found it impossible to be considered for parole and would probably have never been released.

This part of the law surely should be changed and whether a prisoner maintains their innocence should not be taken into account at all when deciding on giving people parole.

But how about the problem of giving parole to dangerous, unreformed prisoners?

The answer to that is quite clear. People who actually committed a serious crime and claimed to be innocent are obviously cold and calculating enough to admit guilt if it gets them out quicker.

The people that suffer because of this rule are people who have been wrongfully convicted, but it seems that the criminal justice system is too proud to admit they get it wrong sometimes. It is up to us politicians to change that.
