Parole panel denies Frederick Banks citing victim opposition and risk score
Summary
Frederick Banks was denied parole after board members cited prior supervision history, victim opposition and a high Static‑99 risk score for sex offenders.
The Committee on Parole voted to deny parole to Frederick Banks at Dixon Correctional Institute on Sept. 9, 2025. Board members cited the inmate’s prior supervision violations, victim and law‑enforcement opposition and a high static‑risk classification.
Banks, serving a 17‑year term for indecent behavior with juveniles and related revocations, told the panel he was "deeply sorry" and asked victims Christina and Garyanna to accept his apology. He said he completed a sex‑offender treatment program and had been working in the prison kitchen.
The nut graf: despite recent program participation, the board referenced Banks’ supervision history and a Static‑99 score of 3 (moderate/high) as reasons to deny at this time.
Correctional staff reported no disciplinary problems but noted Banks had refused school in 2020 and had not returned. Warden staff confirmed he had worked continuously in the kitchen and had completed some treatment programming. Panel members said the case included law‑enforcement and victim opposition; Pete Freeman said the Static‑99 level and opposition required denial because Banks’ release was approaching in about a year.
Outcome: the panel voted to deny parole. Board members encouraged ongoing programming and recommended Banks continue treatment prior to any future rehearing.
