Ronnie Carrasquillo appears destined to die in prison. 47 years after he killed a plainclothes police officer, his life is in the hands of a parole board whose decision-making is swayed by shifting political sands and an ever-present police union. As Ronnie’s family and attorneys fight for his freedom, they keep coming back to the same question: “Is this any way to decide a man’s fate?” In Their Hands is the story of one man’s fight for freedom and a peek behind the curtain at the politics of parole in America.
