Board Member #1 - Ben.  He is an intelligent young man.  Recently appointed to the Parole Board by the governor, he takes his job seriously and tries to exhibit patience when questioning the applicants.

Board Member #2 - Jerry.  He is a portly, kindly man who smiles a lot.  Many years of being on the Parole Board have given him sharp judgment in recognizing which applicants should be released and which should complete their sentences.

Board Member #3 - Patricia.  She is a young woman with an appreciation for humor.  She is a likable person who tends to look at whether the applicant is truly repentant when deciding whether to approve or reject an application.

Board Member #4 - Walter.  He is a stern and occasionally bitter middle-aged man.  He is known for making up his mind early on in the questioning and stubbornly sticking to it.

Board Member #5 - Clara.  She is a sixty-year-old woman who has a reputation for being unbiased and fair in her decisions.  There has been talk that she will be nominated to become a district judge in the near future.
