To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is to document the academic accomplishment of Mr. Michael A. Crenshaw Sr. who successfully completed our 12-week self-study curriculum. Mr. Crenshaw submitted his academic work, which displayed significant insight into his prior mistakes. His ability to be honest and his maturity is evident in his work and we are impressed with the professionalism of his submissions. Mr. Crenshaw has the ability to completely understand the power of the positive tools as taught by GOGI and he is utilizing these tools in his daily decision-making. We are confident that if taught these tools as a young boy, the events of his life would have been vastly different.

It is obvious to our academic review committee that Mr. Crenshaw has displayed dedication to making better decisions in his life and is incorporating the GOGI tools of positive decision-making in his daily life. His academic file proved he can follow instructions, complies with all requirements, understands the importance of structure. His file also indicates an understanding of right from wrong, making positive decisions in the future, and the importance of living as a positive example for others.

Respectfully,

SUPPORT LETTERS FOR THE BPT

Thank you for agreeing to provide a support letter on behalf of my client. To assist in preparing this letter, I have provided a guideline below. This is intended to provide the reader with ideas and you are encouraged to use your own words.

The letters should be sent to the individual's counselor at the prison.

Counselor's name: Ms. Vadem Prison: C.M.F. City, State: Vacaville CA Zip: 95695
Prisoner's Name: Crenshaw CDC#: C-58192 (essential).
Mail a copy to the attorney AT LEAST one week prior to the hearing to ensure prompt delivery.

All letters should be dated and signed. Job offers should ADDITIONALLY be prepared on company letterhead.

Paragraph 1: Begin by introducing yourself and your purpose in writing. You may be a spouse, child, friend, pastor, etc.

Paragraph 2: This section should define your contacts with the individual, your ability to observe the person and the duration of your acquaintance.

Paragraph 3: This should contain a statement of your knowledge of the person's commitment offense. A few short sentences are sufficient.

Paragraph 4: This paragraph should provide your opinion as to this person's character prior to the commitment, if known, and at the present time which now makes this person a suitable candidate for parole. You may also include your knowledge of the person's prison behavior, if known.

Paragraph 5: The Board wishes to know what kind of support is available once the person is released from prison. There is where some may provide the Board with information regarding support which could include spiritual, emotional, housing or monetary assistance.

Paragraph 6: This may include your recommendation for parole consideration to the Board members. This may be based upon a variety of issues, including:

A. Reputation in the community and good character.
B. Productive life prior to incarceration. Past contributions to society, and given the opportunity, the ability to again contribute.
C. Community and church involvement, if applicable.
D. Attitude and the use of time during incarceration.

Your letters inform the Board that there is a network in people outside of prison who are ready, willing and able to assist the individual should parole be granted. This network of people helps to assure the individual of an easier transition from prison to the community.

There are CAVEATS, as I have learned. They include the following:

1. Do NOT express personal views, if any, on the criminal justice system or the manner that you may believe one has been treated unjustly.
2. Do NOT comment on the evidence, or lack of evidence, in the case.
3. Do NOT make political comments.

Thank you again for your assistance. You may mail a copy of your letter to me at the following address:
