We help.

Your loved one is more than a file. Help their story come through.

Parole Path is on your family's side. We help you pull together a clear, organized parole packet that shows growth, the people waiting at home, and a real plan for coming home. Hands-on organizing help in Michigan, New York, and Missouri, and a self-help kit for Texas families who want to build their own.

We help your family put the papers together. You can do it all on your phone.

Why a packet matters

Your family knows who your loved one is now: the classes finished, the work done, the people ready to welcome them home. A clear packet puts all of that in one place, in your words and theirs.

How it works

  1. Get the free checklist. Download our free parole packet checklist to see what to start gathering.
  2. Start your packet online. Tell us a little about your loved one, which state they're in, and when their review is coming up.
  3. Gather the pieces. Use our templates and guides for support letters, a home plan, and a job plan, then send us what you collect.
  4. We organize and review. Depending on your package, we put your documents into a clean packet and check it for completeness, all by email.
  5. You send it. You download the finished packet, with plain instructions on where it goes in your state and how early to send it.

Who we help

Families and friends of people coming up for parole in Michigan, New York, or Missouri, and the defense attorneys, reentry programs, and churches who stand with them. Texas families: see our self-help kit.

Our promise

No one can promise a parole decision, and we never will. We promise careful work, respect for your family, and a packet that lets your loved one's growth and support come through clearly.
