parole board

The rapper, 49, was imprisoned after turning himself in for a cold case murder he committed as a teenager.

Sundiata Acoli, 85, was granted parole after being repeatedly denied.

Low staffing levels means that many prisoners have faced two-person panels and received split decisions, forcing them to plead their case again within a matter of weeks.

'The parole board has yet to take responsibility for what they've done. They encourage a system of hopelessness.'

Black and Hispanic inmates spend more time in prison than white prisoners convicted of the same crimes.
