Some further thoughts:

a. Given the support that so many parolees receive from peers, does it make sense to have blanket parole conditions prohibiting association with those who have a criminal past?

b. While both Tim and Doug received support and no judgement when they told people about their crimes, this is not always the case. Why is there such support for some and not for others with similar criminal pasts- appearance, manner?

c. Both Tim and Doug found strength and support in Indigenous culture. What are the getting there that could be made available more generally?
