I was visiting another site recently and found some information that may interest people trying parole for their significant others. I hope this will give some insight for preparing your package for the Parole Board.
The following is some basic advice I recommend to offenders regarding their
on unit interview with Parole Personnel:When you visit with Parole provide
honest and accurate answers to his questions. Emphasize your commitment to
your rehabilitation and your ability to live a fulfilling life consistent
with any restrictions that the Board may require. Do not complain about
prison conditions or provide excuses for prior crimes. It is better to be
remorseful about prior mistakes and focused on your future as a law abiding
parolee. Do not say that you will not return to prison because prison is a
tough place or that it has been hard to be away from friends or family.
Consider focusing on your work skills and the things that you have been
taught in your classes in stead. Your institutional adjustment results from

the life skills and work skills you learn more than the punishment you have
experienced in prison.When discussing your family and friends emphasize their
stability and examples of their support and good character. How often do they
visit? What community activities do they participate in? Are they involved in
place of worship, community or volunteer projects? Are they educated? Where
do they work and for how long have they been working there? How long have
they lived at their current parole address? How long have they been married?
Hope this information helps.
Best wishes,

Hi! I'm back to PrisonTalk after a long absence. Now, we are getting down to our last days of dealing with imprisonment, and getting to parole. Does anyone have any advice for me? My husband will be transferred from New York to Pennsylvania. AND THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE!!! NO ONE wants to do their job and move his paperwork along, so I want to take action, even if I have to go to the ACLU. I am willing to listen to any and all advice. This is a difficult task, advocating for loved ones behind bars, but if we won't, who will? P.S. I just found out that I passed all my tests to get my Masters in Journalism and I want to tell the whole world!!! Stay strong everyone. I'm glad to be back.:D :D :D

Welcome back Mrs. Twan

Thanks Lulu...glad to be back. How is your situation?

WOW a Masters, that's GRRRRRREAT!

Thanks B-Ray. I worked on that while trying to deal with my husband's stuff and trying to get to see him and worked full time at the same time. WOW it was rough! But anyway, thanks.
