If there is a family situation where your brother who is presumably in prison needs to get out early to assist his ill wife, he needs to have an appointment with a person with the parole board to see what can be done about a possible early release for good behavior and other factors.Just because a family member is ill does not in and of itself justify the early release of a person who is incarcerated. Rather, an early release of an inmate is based upon the circumstances regarding his or her sentence as well as mitigating factors that may justify an early release such as good behavior and the chances of rehabilitation.
