Because even though they were both sentenced to life in prison, I touched on this in the beginning, they had no possibility of parole. As early as 2012, there was talk of one or both of them being released. And people were saying they had earned their release. How?
In 2012, a new legislation was enacted in South Africa that allowed for any prisoner who received a life sentence prior to 2004 to apply for parole after serving at least 13 years of their sentence. By that time, Franz and Theons had been in prison for 17 years, so they were eligible for this. The potential release of these fuckwads, or really any potential killers, came as a shock to Allison.

Of course. She told a reporter in 2012, can you imagine if just 100 lifers are released into society who are not rehabilitated?

Yeah, like what... What do you... What?
Yeah, like what... What do you... What?
What do you do? Prison is supposed to be all about rehabilitation. If you have already sentenced somebody to life in prison without the possibility of parole... You've said they can't be rehabilitated. You've said exactly. You've said exactly that. And allowed back into society because you are literally saying they should never be allowed back into society.

But now we're just, like, reneging that? But now we're being like, well, that wording makes me sad, so, like, let's change the wording. Like... Like, nope. What? That doesn't change what you did. Nope. That doesn't change that you sentenced them to be in prison for life because you didn't believe they could come out. What the fuck is that?

But now all of a sudden we're being like, yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah, it's fine. We decided that's unconstitutional. When I said life, I meant a handful of years. When I said life, I meant, like, less than a whole adolescent. Yeah. The fuck? Like, they can't even drive yet. Yeah.

So, after hearing the news that they had both applied for parole now, Allison immediately spoke out against their release and used her platform to urge the government to keep them both in prison. Good for her. Her activism successfully kept them both in prison for another decade after the Correctional Services Act passed in 2012.

But, in the summer of 2023, so recently, she received yet another shock when, without any notice to her, both men were released on parole. The fact that, one, they released them at all, and two, that they did not notify her is fucking shameful. Like, what if she wanted to make plans to leave the country? That's shameful.

Because I would want to leave the fucking country if those men had done what they did to her.

And were now just out. Just bopping around. You think they give a fuck about being on parole? No. They literally took her intestines out of her body and nearly decapitated her and intentionally tried to destroy her reproductive organs. And you don't tell her that they're back out on the streets, quote unquote, on parole?
