Levi James Newport, 34, appeared in the Dunedin District Court last week and admitted breaching parole. The Parole Board considered he was no longer an undue risk to the community, despite a Roc*Roi (risk of re-conviction and risk of imprisonment) score of 0.94. At a hearing in October, the Parole Board noted Newport had a criminal history that filled 21 pages. Since then, he had changed his tune, the Parole Board heard. After his escape, he was recalled to prison to serve his sentence.
