Subject: Official Information request - Day/Weekend Release

 

Dear Department of Corrections,

 

In regards to life sentenced inmates, that are yet to reach first parole.
At what point, if any is he/she able to apply for day release or weekend
release to spend with family/spouse/children? Is such thing possible
before parole eligibility? If so, under what grounds? And how is an inmate
to go about it?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Moka Harris

Dear Info@Corrections,

 

Thankyou for your reply upon my information request, please clarify your
online guidelines and also please allow me to gain the knowledge of any
other grounds or reason for day/weekend releases. I wanted to know if
inmates are allowed to also apply for these leaves, just to spend family
time, no reason.

 

Yours sincerely,

Moka Harris
