Submitting Parole Support Letters for Inmates
Summary
The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole published an FAQ page clarifying procedures for submitting parole support letters on behalf of inmates. The document specifies that anyone may submit support letters at any time during incarceration, and identifies the required identifying information (inmate name plus date of birth, institution, or parole number) and submission addresses (physical mail to Harrisburg office or email).
What changed
The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole added a new FAQ page to its website providing guidance on submitting parole support letters for inmates. The page clarifies that letters may be submitted by anyone including defense attorneys, family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors, and may be sent at any time during the inmate's incarceration period.
Affected parties—including defense attorneys and community supporters—should note the submission requirements: letters must include the inmate's name plus at least one additional identifier (date of birth, institution, or parole number) to ensure proper routing to the correct file. Submissions may be mailed to the Board's Records and Administration Office in Harrisburg or sent via email to the designated contact address.
