To write a character letter for a friend to use at a parole hearing, you need to include certain important pieces of information, such as:

  1. Use a business letter format.
  2. State your full name in the first line.
  3. I am writing to you about (your friend's full name)
  4. State your relationship to the person - friend, sibling, ex-boss)
  5. State how long you have known this person
  6. How do you know the person (ex. We were neighbors for 10 years from 2006 to present. Or, Our wives are cousins.)
  7. State something about your friend's character. ex. He has always been a hard worker and responsible in his job. Or I have known him to go out of his way to be helpful to others. (It may be hard to come up with something nice to say.)
  8. You do NOT have to comment about his innocence or guilt or what he did wrong. ONLY comment if you KNOW something for sure, such as "He has told me how much he has learned from his 3 years of incarceration".
  9. Be HONEST. Do not tell any lies. It will sound fake and will not help. Ex. Don't say "He's friendly" when you know he is short-tempered.
  10. State clearly what you want the parole board to do, what you hope the board will do.
  11. State any ways that YOU, personally, can help if he is paroled. ex. I have agreed to give him a job for 20 to 30 hours per week in my auto-body shop. OR, If paroled, he will be living in my house.
  12. THANK them for reading your letter and considering your viewpoints.
  13. SIGN your full name. Include your address.

Where can you find a sample letter to the parole board to request denial of parole?

I'm not certain there are any. However, it shouldn't be that difficult to write one of your own. Simply state in clear language why you believe the offender should not be paroled. Keep in mind that your reasons should be real and compelling, not just opinion or a desire for vengeance. (Not that I am suggesting such is the case). The parole board is made up of people just like you and me. They do not require any special formatted letter to help them make a decision. In fact, they see form letters and governmental forms all the time. A good, handwritten letter will make more of an impact on them than any computer generated form letter.
