Parole judges are not accountable for their work in the same way surgeons or pilots are. If a judge makes a bad call on a parole hearing, a person stays in prison and it's effectively impossible to challenge the decision. Parole hearings are extremely subjective, so it's vanishingly unlikely that a judge will face any repercussions for making a ruling which people would consider unfair.
This means that there's no pressure for them to manage the influence of factors like hunger on their decision.
- encoderer 2y agoDoesn’t that mean we would have established standards and practices around hunger developed by those fields?
- lazyasciiart 2y agoNo.
- encoderer 2y agoSo it is impacting those highly empirical disciplines and they have managed to develop no standards and practices? But they have around food poisoning? That doesn’t compute.
