Prison shouldn’t be a death sentence, yet in Georgia, medical neglect has become routine, costing inmates their health, dignity, and too often, their lives. Behind bars, preventable illnesses escalate unchecked, while families endure the agony of silence and inaction. This is a humanitarian crisis hidden in plain sight—one that Georgia can no longer ignore.
When a mouse fears a mousetrap, its plea for help goes ignored by those who think the danger isn’t theirs. Yet, tragedy reveals a profound truth: injustice and neglect, even behind prison walls, ripple outward, affecting us all. This powerful parable reveals why empathy for those incarcerated isn’t just humane—it’s essential.
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.
