Min­is­ter of Jus­tice De­vesh Ma­haraj says leg­is­la­tion to in­tro­duce a pa­role sys­tem in Trinidad and To­ba­go will soon be laid in Par­lia­ment as part of a broad­er ef­fort to re­form the crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem and re­duce de­lays.

Ma­haraj said a Pa­role Bill is among a suite of mea­sures be­ing pre­pared to im­prove ef­fi­cien­cy and ac­cess to jus­tice.

“There’s a pa­role act, pa­role bill, sor­ry, which we bring in­to Par­lia­ment short­ly to in­tro­duce pa­role to the crim­i­nal jus­tice sys­tem,” he said.
