    As Vice President of Parole Preparation Services, Inc. I have prepared Parole Packages for inmates scheduled to appear before the Parole Board. I also prepare the inmate for their parole hearing by counseling the inmate on the questions they may face from the Board, helping them keep a positive outlook and avoiding the traps set by the Board.
