Wait how they fuck was Alexander bonds (Familia shooter) released in 2013 after being denied by the parole board. Apparently a “special provision” was used:

“A parole board cited his "poor institutional behavior" and "lengthy history" of arrests in denying his 2012 bid for parole. He was released in 2013 under a provision that sometimes allows parole without a board's input.”
