What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan

Our daughter's abusive boyfriend is in prison and will be up for parole soon. We would like to write the parole board. Do we have this right? And how likely is it that they will take our concerns into consideration when deciding his release?

You can write whomever you wish, only they will determine what impact your communication will have on their decision if any.

How old is your daughter and does she still consider this man her boyfriend?

Well, she was the one that called the police. But he was actually charged with felon with a gun, maintaining a drug house and possession of marijuana (he had plants) domestic abuse, and assault to do great bodily harm less than murder.(he had a gun.daughter heard it being loaded as she left the apt.) and habitual offender. After all was said and done...HE WAS ONLY CHARGED WITH FELON WITH A GUN! 1.5-5years. This will be his first time before parole board.

What he ended up being charged with is IT. It doesn't matter about the dropped charges: it's as if it didn't happen.

Do you know if the parole board looks at or has access to the original charges?
The police took pictures of her bruises and the choke marks on hr neck. The police set up a swat-like operation that went on for an extended period of time because they knew he had weapons in the apartment.
My husband and I wrote the judge before his sentencing and I was not present, but was told that the judge really lit into him, mentioning our letter and how unhappy he was the his actions. We like to think our letter had some impact on the judges decision, although we know they are governed by the law and how it fits the crime.
