In the wake of a parolee who was arrested for allegedly stabbing his ex-girlfriend and killing an 11-year-old boy, some are calling for changes to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. Two PRB members resigned following the attack. State Senator Jason Plummer says under previous administrations, the board voted far less often to parole dangerous criminals.
Senate Minority Leader John Curran says he is introducing a measure that would help prevent a similar tragedy.
Curran is also proposing that parole board members undergo extensive training on the warning signs and outcomes of domestic violence.
