What goes into an inmate’s parole packet?
Answer: There can be positive letters of support from family and friends, letters from prospective employers, and letters from anyone who are supportive of the inmate’s early release on conditions.
There can be letters from witnesses, the district attorney, the judge, the sheriff of the county, or the victim(s) and their families. There can be certificates from programs completed, photos, and other supporting documents that place the inmate in the light most favorable to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. Be aware that photos and documents that go into the inmate’s parole file will not be returned to you. You cannot request them, so be sure to make copies of all important documents that are sent to the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole. The inmate’s parole file is restricted and protected by law. In addition, you cannot find out if the victim has written a letter, or if any other letters of protest have been submitted.
