Letters In Support Or Opposition Of An Inmate's Release

Letters in support or opposition prior to an inmate’s Parole Board appearance should be sent directly to the
Supervising Offender Rehabilitation Coordinator (SORC) at the inmate’s current facility or by submitting online. Statements received the same month as the inmate's scheduled interview are not guaranteed to be available to the Parole Board.

Letters should be addressed as: 
Correctional Facility Name 
Supervising Offender Rehabilitation Coordinator 
Correctional Facility Mailing Address

In the letter include the following:

Offender's First Name, Last Name, Din Number, and Facility Name 

Include 3 paragraph's that include who's writing the letter, your relationship to the Offender, why you believe this person is a good candidate for parole release, explain how you understand that Parole is a priviledge, and how you plan to help support the offender's transition back into society.  Then include your contact information, sign the letter. 

Then make 3 copies, one for you, the offender, and the Parole Board.
