[The Shawshank Redemption] Why was Red released after insulting the parole board, but not earlier?

During his earlier hearings, he acted completely remorseful, and was denied. Later, he just decides, "Fuck it," and tells the board he doesn't really care. Why did this convince them to release him?

In the earlier attempts he was clearly trying to say what they wanted to hear.  He was still playing the con and, thus, was still a danger to society.  

His last try he was finally broken by the system, too weary to even fight for his freedom.  He clearly sees his role in the scheme of things, all narcissistic delusions stripped away.  Such a man is no longer a threat.
