Snowtown accomplice Mark Ray Haydon is being slowly reintroduced to the community, with the head of South Australia's Parole Board saying the 'world has changed a lot' since he was taken into custody and he needs to learn how to use a mobile phone, access Centrelink and catch public transport.
The head of SA's Parole Board says he has been on excursions in the community to assist the transition.The state government has applied to have Haydon placed on an extended supervision order.
SA Parole Board chair Frances Nelson KC told ABC Radio Adelaide the pre-release centre was a "stepping stone". "He doesn't know how to get public transport, he doesn't know how to access Centrelink, he has to learn how to use a mobile phone; things that people take for granted, he has to learn. His parole conditions include electronic monitoring, a curfew, regular reporting to corrections, no contact with victims and no communication with the media.
"He is going to be out in the community and we've done our best to prepare for that eventuality," Ms Nelson said. "They are all coming to terms with what Mr Haydon's release on parole and end of sentence means for them and their lives.
