Better chances of Parole

Anything that helps the inmate present a favorable image of the inmate should be used. An inmate parole package is a useful tool especially when used in conjunction with live testimony at the parole hearing. The things that can be used to help an inmate present a more favorable image are to numerous to mention in this forum. If the resouces allow, an attorney should be retained far enough in advance to allow the attorney time to investigate facts around the case, contact potential witnesses for live and written testimony, legal research (if necessary), help with the creation of the parole packet and coordinate the presentation of live testimony. Just having minor children in and off itself would not be a plus or minus but would depend on how involved the inmate was/is involved in the lives of the children and how this is presented to the parole board.
