Associated Press

COLUMBIA -- James H. Williams of Easley was named to the state Board of Paroles and Pardons.
Williams was appointed by Gov. Mark Sanford and confirmed by the Senate this month. He will represent the 3rd Congressional District.
Williams is a veteran of the U.S. Army where he served as a military policeman. He has worked in secondary and post-secondary education for 30 years and currently is dean of students at Tri-County Technical College in Pendleton.
He has a bachelor's degree from Voorhees College and a master's from Clemson University.
The board meets about five times a month to consider the parole of some 8,000 inmates yearly, plus several hundred pardon applications a year.
