A "parole package" also known as a "parole packet", is a collection of information submitted to the Board by an incarcerated offender, an attorney, or by family in support of the offender's release. While an offender does not need a "parole packet" to obtain a favorable board vote, parole packages can greatly increase the prisoner's chances for making parole. This is because parole packages provide the board members with assurances, such as where the offender will be living, what kind of employment he or she will seek, and a detailed plan for a smooth reintegration back into the community. Assuring the board members that the offender will have support from family, friends, and clergy is always a plus and can help compell a favorable result. If your loved one has an upcoming parole hearing, he or she should submit a parole package to the parole board at least two-three weeks prior to their parole hearing. If you have questions, or want to use our services for preparing a parole package for your loved one, contact us today for a free consultation. Call 405-437-6523
A sentence commutation is a legal process that reduces a criminal sentence imposed by a court. It is a form of clemency, which is the power to grant mercy to a convicted person. Sentence commutation is a legal process whereby a government reduces the length of a criminal sentence imposed on an individual. This can be done to correct an excessive sentence, as well as for other reasons. The President of the United States can only grant commutations for federal sentences, while state governors have the authority to commute sentences for crimes committed within their respective states. The decision to grant a sentence commutation is typically influenced by several factors. The severity of the crime, the individual's behavior in prison, the length of the sentence, the circumstances of the case, and public opinion can all play a role. Common reasons for commutations include wrongful convictions, humanitarian grounds, the correction of unjust sentences, correcting excessive sentences, rewarding good behavior, and addressing broader policy considerations. The process for obtaining a sentence commutation varies by jurisdiction. While the executive branch typically has the primary authority, in some cases, courts or parole boards may also have the power to grant commutations. It's important to note that the specific procedures and criteria for sentence commutation can vary significantly between states.
