Default parking brake wont work

i got my 2nd gen the other day and i noticed that when i use the parking brake it makes the clicking noise like its engaging but then it comes right back up, it says that the brake is on (on the dash it says so) but it still rolls back. any ideas, never owned a dodge before so anything helps (1997)

Works as it should. Pedal comes up, actual mechanism releases when you pull the handle above the pedal.

edit/ Damn, I completely missed that it rolls back

Need to adjust/replace the rear brakes, There is only one adjusting cable on one side so when that is maxed out and adjusting the brakes don't help they need replacing.
