my husband goes to prole next month is there anything i can do to help him get proled i have wrote to them is thire anything else to?

Tina,

In Calif. you can apply to attend the board hearing. some get it, some don't, so you'll need to check with your states, board web site, or call them.

Get family members & friends to write letters of support. Do your best to show you have a stable home for him when he gets out. These show the board that he has a support group to help him when he gets out, & that he's not going back to the same environment that sent him in to begin with. If he has had a drug &/or drinking problem, look into AA &/or NA, & get a schedual of meetings, & location of meetings, to show that he will be continueing his rehab once outside.

If at all possible try & arrange employment, or show that he will be enrolling with a job search company. List every job skill he had before being locked up, & any job skills he got while locked up. You want them to know he has a job, or is very employable, & will have no problem getting a job.

Draw up a release plan that will explain what his plans are once he is out. Give as much detail as you can. This can be an overview of the above i.e.;

Sample,

When he gets out he will be living with his family who love & care for him (list names & ages), in a home you have lived in for (how many years), He has many friends who are committed to helping him in his transition, & to offer what ever support he may need (list friends & ages, & show their letters of support), He will be attending meetings (state type of meeting, schedual of meetings (plan many a week) & locations), State that upon release he will be reporting to work at (give name & address of company), or he will be reporting to (give name of company & address) to look for work, & he should have no problem getting a job because (name all his job skills, & membership in any union, or organization). His family & friends have offered to help him get to any interviews, meetings, or appointments. We will be attending (name church) which we have attended for (state how long). We are a drug & alcohol free home, & with his commitment to live a drug & alcohol free life, & with the support of his family, friends, employer, & church, we feel that he will be able to successfully transition to a normal life.
We are both committed to him following his parole officers guidlines, & conditions to the letter. ......etc. etc. etc.

But you get the idea anyway. Pile it on thick, don't leave anything out. What you may think is unimportant, they may think is important. Find out the best way to get this packett to the board, whether through him, his counslor, whoever. If you send it to someone else send him copies, & keep copies for your self.

He may also want to submit a statement or read a statement, showing remorse for his crime, the hurt he caused his victims, & his family, & friends. Explain how he ended up committing crimes, & how he won't fall back into the same trap. etc, etc, etc,

sorry for the long winded reply, sometimes I get carried away, LOL. Good Luck--------Ken

PS there is no guarantee that this will work, but it wont hurt. Parole Boards eat this up. They like to think that locking someone up did help to turn the prisoner around.

thanks is there anything else i can do i have wrote to the prole bored already for him and his famaily to.

I say thanks too Ken, I might need your info at some point in time??

Don't worry about being "wordy". It helps when some of us doesn't know the system! :-)
