Alison asked, “Can you imagine if just 100 lifers were reintroduced to society without rehabilitation?” in response to the possibility that the legislation would change in 2012.
Her advocacy work played a crucial role in keeping these inmates incarcerated.
However, Du Toit and Kruger, who had only completed 28 years of their life sentence, were released on parole on July 4, 2023, without anyone informing Alison.
“The day I hoped and prayed would never come,” Alison said on her Facebook page, expressing her surprise.
My first response to the question, “How will you feel if they ever get parole?” was always, “I’m hoping I’ll never find out.”
In the 2016 documentary Alison and her book I Have Life, Alison courageously shared her terrifying experience and incredible survival.
