Families of current GoingHome participants can send support letters and documents for a parole packet: an organized collection of plans, support letters, and documents for the parole board. Our team checks participant details against program records before printing and distributing documents.
Start with their full name, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) number, and prison name so every document can be matched to the right person.
Send family documents →Free for families of current GoingHome participants. Review the full name, TDCJ number, and prison before sending.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS CARRY HOME
The parole plan is both a professional presentation to the parole board and a real action plan for rebuilding life after release.
Across five classes, participants prepare for employment, finances, family relationships, and daily life—with trained mentors who are incarcerated and certified community volunteers alongside them.
