Re: Urgent Request for Assistance in the Case of Douglas Robertson
Dear Attorney General [Attorney General's Name],
I am writing to urgently request your assistance in the case of my son, Douglas Robertson, who has been incarcerated for many years. Recently, we discovered a document that unequivocally proves his innocence. Despite this new evidence, Blake Chambers has refused to allow the Innocence Project to assist in his case.
Our family is desperate to bring Douglas home and restore his freedom. We believe that with your intervention, justice can prevail. Please help us by reviewing his case and facilitating the necessary steps for his release.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Is there anything else you need

Eligibility for probation mentioned in the PSI (Presentence Investigation Report) doesn’t guarantee that he will get probation. The judge will still have to decide whether to grant it.
Could you please share more details about his case, like the type of offense or any previous criminal record? This might help in understanding the situation better.

Sure, I can help you with that! Here’s some general information:
- Eligibility for probation: Being eligible doesn't guarantee probation. The judge makes the final decision based on various factors.
- Factors considered: Severity of the offense, behavior while incarcerated, rehabilitation efforts, and criminal history.
Do you have any more specific questions about his case or the probation process?

Here are some tips that might help in getting probation:
- Good Behavior: Demonstrate positive behavior while in custody.
- Rehabilitation Programs: Participate in any available rehabilitation or educational programs.
- Support System: Highlight a strong support system outside of prison (family, job offers, community support).
- Legal Representation: Ensure his attorney presents a compelling case emphasizing his rehabilitation and low risk of reoffending.
Would you like assistance with drafting a specific document or more information on the probation process?

To maximize the chances of your boyfriend getting probation from sentencing, consider these steps:
- Character References: Gather letters from employers, family, and community members attesting to his good character and contributions.
- Rehabilitation: Emphasize his participation in rehabilitation programs and obtaining his high school diploma.
- Legal Representation: Ensure his attorney highlights his long period without criminal activity and positive efforts.
Would you like help drafting a letter to the judge or any other specific document?

Re: Request for Probation from Sentencing for [Your Boyfriend's Name]
Dear Judge [Judge's Last Name],
I am writing to respectfully request that my boyfriend, [Your Boyfriend's Name], be granted probation from sentencing. He was convicted of drug trafficking and has not been in trouble for over 25 years. During his time in custody, he has demonstrated good behavior and has earned his high school diploma.
He has a strong support system outside of prison, including family, job offers, and community support. We believe that his long period without criminal activity and his positive efforts towards rehabilitation make him an ideal candidate for probation.
We are committed to supporting him as he transitions back into society and believe that probation will allow him to continue his positive contributions without the need for further incarceration.
Thank you for considering this request.
Sincerely,[Your Signature]

Would you like any adjustments or additional details included in the letter?

In Kentucky, for an *-year consecutive sentence, the time served can vary based on the offense, good behavior, and parole eligibility. Generally, inmates must serve a minimum percentage of their sentence:
- Non-violent offenses: Eligible for parole after serving *% of the sentence.
- Violent offenses: Eligible for parole after serving *% of the sentence.

Would you like more details on the parole process or any specific steps to take next?

For an *-year sentence, *% would be approximately *.6 years (*.2 months).
Do you need more information about the parole process or how to prepare for it?

In Kentucky, the time frame for parole or Mandatory Reentry Supervision (MRS) can vary:
- Parole: If granted, the individual can be released after serving the required percentage of the sentence.
- MRS: Typically occurs 6 months before the end of the sentence for non-violent offenders.
- Shock Probation: Allows release after serving a short part of the sentence.
Would you like more details on any of these options?

In Kentucky, a consecutive sentence can complicate eligibility for shock probation, but it's not impossible. Here are some details:

- SAP Program: Typically lasts about *-12 months.
- Anger Management: Duration varies, usually *-* weeks.
- Wait Time: Entry into programs depends on availability and prison resources.
Would you like more information on how to apply for these programs or assistance with any specific documentation?

The chances of receiving shock probation can vary based on several factors including the judge’s discretion, the specifics of the case, and the individual's behavior and rehabilitation efforts.
