DESCRIPTION:
(from Investigation Discovery's press release, May 2016) Investigation Discovery today announced a premiere date for JUDGMENT DAY: PRISON OR PAROLE?, an original miniseries directed and executive-produced by Peabody and Emmy Award-winning documentarian, Joe Berlinger. Premiering Sunday, May 22 at 8/7c, this three-part series brings viewers inside the emotional and high-stakes process of parole hearings through exclusive and unprecedented access to the state parole boards in Colorado and Wyoming. With the weight of these enormous decisions shouldered by the parole board members, audiences will gain unique insight into each step of the process to determine if inmates are fit to be released back into society - or if they should remain incarcerated. Berlinger is renowned for his work in shining a light on critical aspects of the justice system - from Brother's Keeper, to the Oscar-nominated and Emmy and Peabody Award-winning "Paradise Lost Trilogy". Through first-hand accounts, JUDGMENT DAY: PRISON OR PAROLE? pulls back the curtain to see if the extreme remorse expressed by convicted inmates seeking parole is real as the parole boards revisit the crimes, while also hearing the often opposing view expressed by victims and victims' families, to ultimately decide if the incarcerated is safe for release. Shining a light into the lesser-known side of justice, this series showcases the delicate balance that parole board members must weigh between forgiveness and freedom - and risk and responsibility. |
