Family action plan
Pick the state where your loved one is held. You'll get one printable plan: release milestones, parole and housing, ID, benefits, food, phone, the first 72 hours, and questions for the parole officer. Verified items are marked, and so are the things to confirm.
What this page can and can't tell you
Can: An estimate for planning. Nothing you type is sent to us.
Can't: It can't give an official release date, say whether a specific person qualifies, or give legal advice. Only the DOC, the board or a court decides.
Important: credits are subject to exclusions in the law, can be forfeited, and are applied at the DOC's discretion. Don't make release arrangements based on an estimate. Confirm the date with the DOC.
Free legal help: Legal Services Corporation: find legal aid (civil matters). For criminal cases, ask the public defender's office that handled the case.
