Q: Who would be able to help with an inmate who has been denied parole multiple times for no reason?
The inmate has completed all courses and then some. Also they denied for 1 year and then 1 year and then last time it was for 2 years. The inmate hasn't had a write up of any sort for 4 years.
A:
If an inmate has faced repeated parole denials despite meeting requirements, it's important to seek assistance from organizations that advocate for prisoner rights. These organizations can offer guidance on the parole process and may help identify any underlying issues that contributed to the denials.
Additionally, consider reaching out to an attorney who focuses on criminal law or parole matters. A knowledgeable attorney can review the case, help prepare for future hearings, and present a strong argument for why the inmate deserves parole. They may also have insights into how to address any potential biases in the decision-making process.
Lastly, connecting with support groups or networks of families affected by incarceration can provide emotional support and practical advice. Sharing experiences with others who have faced similar challenges can empower you to take the next steps in advocating for the inmate’s release.
