SAMPLE LETTER/EMAIL
SUBJECT: RE: INMATE NAME AND I.D. NUMBER
Parole Board Member's Name(s):
This letter (or email) regards inmate____________, Prisoner I.D. Number___________ who has an upcoming parole review in (Month,Year).
I strongly object to the (parole, probation, release) of this inmate. The crime was a crime of violence. The act of (murder, rape, kidnapping, etc.) is horrible and should preclude any consideration for parole, probation or release.
A 1991 BJS study of convicted felons on parole and probation found 45% of them went out and committed an additional 13,200 homicides. Nationally, recidivism rates are 62% within three years when released on parole.
Please do not parole or release (inmate's name, inmate's I.D. #).
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Your First Initial and Last Name State and Country ONLY for Address
