The parole board is an administrative board that sees if an offender or prisoner should be freed from prison on parole after they have served part of their sentence. The board carries out a risk assessment on the prisoner to see if it is safe for them to be integrated back into the society or if they would pose a threat.
Citizens can have an initiative which can put your law on the ballot to be voted on which in the end with enough signatures or votes your law may become true and realized as a real law.
