gangster Jarrod Bacon prepares to leave prison on statutory release for a third time, the Parole Board of Canada says he must live in a community correctional centre for six months. In the reasons for the decision to release Bacon, the parole board acknowledged his long criminal history and current ties to the Red Scorpions and Bacon Brothers criminal organizations. Bacon originally received a 12-year sentence that May, which was appealed by the Crown and then increased to 14 years by the B.C. Bacon was first granted statutory release erroneously in Feb. 2017, but it was suspended that July after he breached special conditions related to avoiding bars and associating with criminal peers. Unless changed or removed by the parole board his release conditions will remain in effect until his sentence ends on July 3, 2021.
