Support Letter Advice
Paperwork, Parole Packets, and Support Letters by themselves are of limited value in Parole Arguments. Texas Parole Files are now transferred digitally. All paperwork is summarized in the transferred file so all paperwork should be made with the parole argument to maximize its value and impact. I read all support letters and place them in my notes before making an argument to a Parole Commissioner or Board Member. All paperwork is like arrows and the parole file is like a haystack. If you just hand it in they are hard to find in the haystack. But if you use the material to support the argument, they can be a valuable resource that is fresh and important to understanding the client's current life and parole opportunities. Below are common areas addressed by support letters and some thoughts to help provide useful information on these topics.
EmploymentEmployment letters should focus on the type of work that will be done, whether it will be full time or part-time. They should be as detailed as possible. They should be written on company letterhead (or at least staple a business card to the letter if possible). It is important to any offer of employment that the employer is aware of previous crimes and related problems. The more information to any offer of employment that the employer is aware of previous crimes and related problems. The more information that is placed in this direction in the letter the better. The importance of this information being provided by the actually potential employer is that it allows you to show the board that you are very upfront with all the persons in the plan. It also shows that they are fully aware of what they are getting into. Employment letters are not a contract and they do not obligate the potential future employer. But they should be sincere, well thought out offers. Ours, the employers’ ability to allow the employee to serve parole requirements and the possibility of future advancement are all worthwhile topics that the letter may address. Obviously, not in all cases can you find an employment letter that is that detailed. This may not be available in your case; however, you should pursue employment to whatever extent is possible. As a part of pursuit if all you can get is letters indicating that the loved one in prison is free to make an application to a given employer, then that is what you will accept. Living ArrangementsYou should indicate in your letters who will be providing living arrangements, and the type of arrangements involved. Indicate if a car is being made available to the parolee for means of transportation. Is this is prior address where the prisoner lived? Is the address in the same county where the crime occurred? If it is the same address as before, try to show why the prior crimes that occurred there won’t happen again (greater family awareness, disassociation with people and active with whom the client was previously involved, etc). Whether a rent will be involved and what are the circumstances of his living arrangement, as well as other persons in the house and any conditions they may have. Moral SupportMoral support speaks for itself to some extent, but you want to be as detailed as possible. Letters that say “he made a mistake and he has learned his lesson” are not nearly as effective as a letter with a few examples of how the prisoner use to act before a and few examples of how he acts now and a conclusion that he will not make the same mistakes in the future. Note how often you visit the unit, for how long you have been visiting the unit and how far is the drive for you to his unit. Indicate how often you exchange letters and for how long have you been exchanging letters. Giving the Parole Board examples and information to work from so they can draw their own conclusions (and agree with your conclusion) are much more effective letters than requesting them to accept your conclusions on blind faith. The most important part to any support case is to be accurate, detailed and say genuinely what you feel. Try to support all of your statements with examples, facts or other proof. Supports letters should be addressed to the Board of Pardons and Parolees. Keep CopiesKEEP COPIES OF ALL YOUR INFORMATION. You do not need to hand in originals. Once you send in material to the Parole Board it becomes part of your loved one’s original file and you will not be able to recover the information. Always at least keep copies if not the originals. PicturesSome pictures are nice for personalizing a file. I recommend a sensible number of pictures. I prefer a few pictures with several loved ones in the photos rather than a bunch of photos each with a few people in them. If you want to photograph the house or car, I’d also include family members in the photo. Some place a photo of each person in a corner of their respective support letter. Others get the whole family together with a sign saying “We look forward to your return (loved one’s name)”. These can be a nice touch. But don’t get carried away in this area. Your loved one will surely get more out of the photos than they will contribute to the decision-making process. Remember the Voting Parole Board Members are bound by the facts in the file and cannot make decisions based on sentiments.
