Practical Tools to Help Families Get Organized and Prepared
Preparing for parole involves more than knowing a date. Our resources are designed to help families organize information, identify areas that need attention, and prepare more intentionally.
PREPARATION STARTS WITH ORGANIZATION
There is no single checklist that can guarantee a parole decision.
But families can take practical steps to become more informed, organized, and prepared.
Our professional resources are designed to help you work through important areas of preparation without having to figure everything out on your own.
WHAT CAN YOU WORK ON?
Parole preparation can involve many different areas. Start with the areas that are most relevant to your family's situation.
Keep important dates, documents, communications, questions, and case information organized in one place.
Organize information about programs, education, work, accomplishments, goals, and other areas of positive progress.
Begin thinking realistically about housing, transportation, employment, support, identification, and other reentry needs.
DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START?
That's exactly why we created the Start Here roadmap.
If you're new to the parole process or aren't sure what you should be working on first, start there.
