DESCRIPTION:Recent events\, such as the John Worboys case\, have undermine
 d confidence in the parole system and reopened longstanding debates over t
 he confused normative basis of prisoner release policy and practice. Under
  Boris Johnson’s premiership\, the Ministry of Justice have announced a 
 review of the parole system and a series of measures intended to restrict 
 the availability of parole for those serving custodial sentences for viole
 nt or sexual offences.  In this seminar\, Nicky Padfield and Thomas Guiney
  will discuss the changing face of prison release (and recall) in England 
 and Wales and pose a series of fundamental questions about the implication
 s of the process for the fairness\, legitimacy and effectiveness of the pe
 nal system.  At a time when prison release has become increasingly politic
 ised\, they also ask what meaningful role academic research has to play in
  shaping a fast-moving reform agenda.
