The Parole rate for Virginia prison inmates has slowed to single digits... 8 or 9 percent.
So now the chairman of the Parole Board is looking for good candidates for release.
Since Virginia abolished parole for crimes committed after 1995, most eligible inmates tend to be the hard-core violent offenders... the ones the parole board is least likely to release.

Morris went to prison with a life sentence, plus 60 years, for two counts of robbery, two of malicious wounding, burglary, and conspiracy.
He says he took part in the burglary of an elderly woman's residence, but took the rap for an adult co-conspirator who beat up the woman.

Fulcher says he conned guards into thinking he was in on the scheme too.
But the feds say this time, Fulcher was NOT working for them.
They say Fulcher supplied and sold marijuana to inmates and that Mike Fulcher was the drug kingpin.
So in THIS case, he's not helping to jail a defendant ... once again, he IS the defendant.
