Summary
Christopher Foster’s parole was denied after the panel cited the need for additional offender-treatment programming; board members praised his conduct but concluded more treatment and program completion were necessary before parole.
The Committee on Parole denied parole for Christopher Foster (DLC 755310) at the Southwest Corrections hearing on Oct. 22 after hearing testimony about his offense and institutional record.
Foster acknowledged guilt for molestation of a juvenile and offered a written statement expressing remorse and a list of classes and vocational certificates he completed in custody, including NCCER core construction and NCCER Level 1 welding. Warden Morgan and facility staff described Foster as an “ideal inmate,” noting completion of offered programs and good conduct.
Board members discussed the facts of Foster’s case, including multiple victims and the seriousness of the offense. Members praised his remorse and program participation but noted the facility has limited access to required *** offender treatment programs (specialized sex-offender treatment). The panel said Foster must complete offender-specific programming and asked him to request a transfer if necessary to access required courses.
The panel voted to deny parole, with members urging Foster to continue programming and to request a transfer so he can enroll in *** offender treatment and complete prerelease programming. The hearing ended with the board denying parole and encouraging further treatment participation.
Ending: The board denied parole but highlighted Foster’s progress and urged additional specialized programming and a request for transfer to a facility offering required treatment.
