Sentence: Joseph Charles Dawson

Joseph Charles Dawson: Joseph Charles Dawson, now in his late 20s, has been granted statutory release, which is automatic after an offender has served two-thirds of his sentence, according to The Chronicle Herald. The board considers that you have shown a propensity for violence by adopting various types of violent behaviours. You have continued to use violence while incarcerated, says the parole board decision, dated May 17 and A Dartmouth man sentenced to 12 years in jail for manslaughter and robbery after killing a West Lawrencetown resident in 2004 has been released to a halfway house. However, the Parole Board of Canada deems that Dawson is still a risk to society and has imposed special conditions on his release. Those conditions include that he live in a supervised community-based residential facility, without leave privileges, until his sentence is complete. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
