Iowa Supreme Court opinion holding that although inmates have a liberty interest in parole, the state is not violating inmates' right to due process by delaying sex offense treatment that must completed to be meaningfully considered for parole. The opinion states that the Iowa Department of Corrections has acted reasonably in attempting to address the fact there are too many individuals convicted of sex offenses in the system to provide treatment on a timely basis.
