| A Parole Plan is the more or less formal proposal
a prisoner makes to the parole Board stating his or her plans for his/her
life if and when he/she is released on parole. In Pennsylvania the Parole
Plan includes living and employment arrangements. In addition, the Parole
Plan may include special provisions such as drug, psychological or sex-offender
treatment.
We have prepared a menu of suggested forms. These forms are intended as suggestions to help the prisoner devise her/his plan and also to help her/him present the Parole Plan to the Parole Board. The prisoner should, of course, always use her/his own best judgment and alter the forms as need be. We urge family and loved ones of prisoners who are, or will soon become eligible for parole, to printout all or any of the forms which may help the prisoner and send copies to her/him. Most prison libraries (but not SCI-Smithfield*) allow prisoners to make photocopies of the forms. We wish you GOOD LUCK with parole! |
* Footnote: at the State Correctional Institution at Smithfield (Renee Lupert, Jeanette Stennett, library staff) photocopying is censored and very greatly restricted. Only documents approved by the staff may be copied. The policy violates the law (see Rhodes v Robinson, 612 F2d 766 (3rd Cir 1979)). It also seriously obstructs the prisoners' First Amendment constitutional right to petition the government. Prisoners at SCI-Smithfield should complain, but they will have to copy forms by hand.
