Early release options in Massachusetts include parole, compassionate release for health issues, and good conduct credits. The parole process involves eligibility verification, a hearing before the Board of Parole Hearings, case review, and a decision. Inmates can prepare by maintaining good behavior, gathering support letters, developing a post-release plan, and consulting an attorney. If support is lacking, focus on behavior, planning, and legal aid. Sex offenders should ensure compliance with registry requirements and seek specialized support services. Hiring a lawyer can be beneficial, especially for complex cases. The likelihood of parole depends on crime severity, behavior, support, and legal representation.
