Josh Wall ’86 has been named interim executive director of the Massachusetts Parole Board, and reportedly will soon become chairman of the board. He is charged with examining the board’s practices and establishing stricter policies for overseeing offenders serving life sentences who are at high risk of reoffending—and who have been convicted of the most serious crimes. A prosecutor at the Suffolk Country District Attorney’s Office since 1993, Wall was described by Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley as possessing “a profound commitment to justice, the deepest empathy for victims, a proven record as a reformer, and unassailable credentials protecting the public safety.”
