How to Create a Parole Packet for Georgia State Prisoners

For families and advocates of incarcerated individuals in Georgia, preparing a well-organized parole packet can significantly increase the chances of a successful parole review. While parole consideration is automatic, submitting a persuasive packet helps highlight an inmate’s rehabilitation, support system, and reentry plan—key factors in the Parole Board’s decision-making process.

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on assembling a parole packet, including:
✅ What the Parole Board considers in its decision
✅ Key documents to include, such as letters of support and a reentry plan
✅ Sample parole packet letters from family, inmates, and mentors
✅ Tips from parole attorneys on what works best

A strong parole packet doesn’t just tell the Board that an inmate is ready—it shows them with clear evidence, structured plans, and support from the community.
