BBG, I understand your frustration. For YEARS, I went to a parole board hearing for one of my pps (the parole board remembered me from year to year) and every single year he was denied due to the "nature of the crime." Okay, will that EVER change? So what's the point of even going? It made me fully identify with the offender in the movie "Shawshank Redemption" when he went before the parole board.

I think the chances of getting parole are equivalent to the chances of winning the lottery!
