Parole Packets

Parole packets are organized collections of documents submitted to a parole board to support an incarcerated person’s request for parole. They typically include personal letters, rehabilitation records, certificates, and other materials that show the individual’s progress, character, and readiness to return to the community.

Parole Packet Checklist

Cover Letter

A cover letter in a parole packet is a short letter at the beginning that explains who the person is, why they’re asking for parole, and what they’ve done to change. It gives the parole board a quick summary of the packet and helps set a positive tone for the rest of the information.

Letters of Support

Letters of support in parole packets are written by family, friends, or community members who believe in the person’s growth and are willing to help them after release. These letters show the parole board that the person has a strong support system and a better chance of succeeding outside of prison.

Certificates

Certificates in parole packets show the programs, classes, or training the person has completed while in prison. They prove that the person has worked to improve themselves and is taking steps to be a better, more responsible member of society.

Disciplinary Record

A disciplinary record in a parole packet shows the person's behavior while in prison. A clean or improved record helps show the parole board that the person is responsible, follows rules, and is working to change.

Re-entry Plan

A reentry plan in a parole packet explains how the person will live, work, and stay on track after leaving prison. It shows the parole board that they have a clear, realistic plan for housing, employment, and support to help them succeed and stay out of trouble.

Conclusion

The conclusion in a parole packet ties everything together by briefly restating the person’s growth, readiness for release, and commitment to a better future. It leaves the parole board with a final, positive impression of why the person deserves a second chance.

Choose REAP

We are equipped to compile parole packets because we understand what the parole board looks for and know how to organize and present information in a clear, strong, and respectful way. Our experience helps ensure each packet tells a complete story of growth, responsibility, and readiness for a second chance.

Family Advocacy Matters

We believe that family support plays a powerful role in the parole process. When families speak up, it shows the parole board that someone cares, and that a strong support system is waiting on the outside. That’s why we work closely with both the family and the incarcerated individual when creating a parole packet. Their voice, their growth, and their story are at the heart of everything we put together—because they deserve to be heard, and no one should go through this process alone.
