Parole Support Circle

You need support, too.

A place for adults going through parole hearings, waiting, denials, approvals, and coming home. When the person inside is not ready to talk, you can still reach out to people who understand this part of the journey.

You can ask for a listening ear, share what helped, talk through the parking-lot moment, or celebrate good news without pretending it is all easy. Say what you need: “Please just listen,” “I would like practical ideas,” or “Has anyone else felt this?”

This forum is public. Don't post names, DOC numbers, facility units, case details, or anything that could identify you or someone else. Share your own experience and respect other people's privacy. Replies come from members; an immediate response is not guaranteed.
