Illinois Parole Board Scandal

March 28, 2024

Illinois parole board member and chair both resign after 11-year-old's stabbing death.

The Prisoner Review Board failed Laterria Smith and her family, resulting in the death of an innocent 11-year-old boy. We must do more to protect the victims of domestic violence and violent crime in our state and give them a stronger voice in our criminal justice system through victim-focused reforms.
