Q: Can I have my friend who's incarcerated in prison released on parole to my address?
I stay in a studio apartment but am willing to have him stay with me if he's released. Can I write a letter to parole and probation letting them know he does have a address to go to if he is released
A:
In general, the process for releasing an individual on parole involves a thorough assessment of various factors, including the suitability of the proposed residence. If you are willing to provide your address for your friend's parole, you may be able to express your willingness in writing to the parole and probation authorities. However, several considerations will likely be taken into account, such as the size of your studio apartment, your friend's criminal history, and the terms of his parole.
It's crucial to ensure that your friend complies with all parole requirements and that the proposed living arrangement aligns with the conditions set by the parole board. Writing a letter expressing your willingness to provide a residence is a good step, but the final decision will be made by the parole board after a comprehensive review.
To proceed, you should reach out to the parole and probation office in the relevant jurisdiction in Nevada for guidance on the specific steps you need to take and the information required to support your friend's parole request.
