The Committee on Parole met remotely at multiple correctional facilities on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025, to hear a series of revocation and parole cases. Hearings ran through the day at Calcutta Correctional Center, Dixon Correctional Institute, the State Police Barracks and other sites. The panel reviewed programs completed, victim impacts, institutional behavior and proposed reentry plans before issuing a mix of outcomes.

Among the individual actions: the board recommended long‑term substance‑abuse treatment rather than further incarceration for Mitchell Ray Colson (DOC#128645) after he admitted violating several conditions and acknowledged substance use. The committee continued the case for Brandon Gilroy/Guillory (DOC#632658) because related criminal charges remain pending. The panel denied parole for Agent David Wetzel (DOC#539779) and for Adam Guillory (DOC#772975), recommending long‑term treatment for substance problems in the latter case.

The board granted parole to several people subject to conditions. Tory Kerr (DOC#224264), who was previously denied, won the committee’s approval to enter a long‑term parole project and transitional housing, with required ongoing AA participation and other conditions the board specified. Lloyd Addison (DOC#163846), age 65, received conditional approval contingent on intensive substance‑abuse treatment and post‑release supervision. Howard Fine (DOC#116637) was also approved, conditioned on completing prerelease programming and continued community supports. Members emphasized no contact with victims where appropriate and electronic monitoring or drug testing in some cases.

The committee revoked parole for Matthew Williams (DOC#480215) after members concluded he continued to participate in illegal drug activity and remained a public‑safety risk; they said treatment options would be explored but did not substitute a short administrative sanction for revocation. In another case, Kennedy Jackson (DOC#297999) was returned to supervision with a reprimand after the board reviewed incident reports and body‑camera footage and declined to revoke parole.

Committee members repeatedly cited public safety, victims’ interests and program participation when justifying their votes. Several decisions required further reporting back to the board or completion of designated treatment and prerelease programs before any future parole consideration. The committee used executive session where legally authorized to receive confidential testimony and then returned to public session to record votes.

Votes at a glance (selected cases): Mitchell Ray Colson — recommend long‑term substance treatment; Brandon Gilroy/Guillory — continued; Robert Aaron — denied; Howard Fine — grant with conditions; Agent David Wetzel — denied; Tory Kerr — grant to parole project with conditions; Lloyd Addison — conditional grant; Adam Guillory — denied, refer to long‑term treatment; Kennedy Jackson — reprimand/return to supervision; Matthew Williams — parole revoked.

The committee said it expects follow‑up reports and compliance documentation on granted cases; where grant approvals were conditional, release plans depend on completion of specified programming and approval by supervising agencies.
