Do you have the information you need to feel confident at your next hearing?

Are You Ready for Your Parole Hearing? is a step by step guide that breaks down not only why it’s essential to prepare for your parole hearing, but also what you can do to assemble a strong portfolio, develop insight, victim awareness and remorse, and deepen your powers of expression when going before the parole board. With chapters like, “Why Do Commissioners Ask Questions They Know the Answers To?,” this guide tells you what to expect during the interview, what commons traps people fall into when speaking with commissioners, and provides a range of tools you can use to effectively convey your readiness for release.

Author Kamal Fardan writes from personal experience, having earned his release at his first parole hearing after twenty-five years in prison. In this book he combines wisdom drawn from speaking with commissioners and facilitating parole preparatory groups inside with his wealth of knowledge about the parole process. He has developed this in-depth guide to be distributed at no cost to people in New York State prisons, in the interest of making information that is all too often withheld more accessible to people inside. A true believer in the lifelong process of personal growth, Fardan encourages incarcerated people and their families to invest in the parole preparation process as well as the struggle for parole reform, creating change for both ourselves and our communities.
