No body, no parole
In nearly all Australian States, people convicted of murder, manslaughter or infanticide will not be released on parole unless they can satisfy the Prisoners Review Board that they have satisfactorily co-operated with police or other law enforcement authorities in the identification of the location, or last known location, of the body or remains of their victim. It’s only new legislation but already some convicted persons have rushed to identify where their victims have been buried. It’s brought tremendous solace to families, some of whom have been waiting for many, many years, to be able to finally lay their loved ones to rest.
Do you have anything like this in the USA?
