A quarter of a century after being imprisoned, quadruple-murderer James Vlassakis is preparing to begin his parole in Adelaide. He will be based at a pre-release centre, soon to begin the adjustment to modern day life — a very different world to the one he left 26 years ago.

In this episode, ABC reporters James Wakelin and Rebecca Brice join Stephen Stockwell to discuss Vlassakis's behaviour and experiences in prison, how the parole board considered his application, and how he'll be reintegrated to life outside.
