What is Conditional Release?
There is a lot to know about conditional release. A huge part of the manual this booklet is meant to summarize is devoted to the topic. The manual will cover all sorts of issues related to releases - and well it should! The manual is written from the perspective of authors who believe that keeping women in prisons rather than addressing the problems that put them there in the first place, will never make society a better or safer place.
While much of the discussion so far may seem geared towards trying to make sure your rights are not violated in prison, everyone working on this project is interested in assisting women to get out as soon as possible with their spirits intact!
Although there is so much to know about conditional release, this part of the manual focuses on the basics. Part of the aim is to keep it relatively short and, to accomplish that, a lot of information that might have been included in this section was left out. However, we want to take this opportunity to remind you that this is just a draft. Everyone working on this project looks forward to your input, including your thoughts on what it might be useful to add -or leave out- in the final version of the Human Rights Manual!
