Public code and process facts

Official definition
Release the offender on the specified future month and year.
In plain English
Parole was APPROVED for a future date. The person is not approved for immediate release and must wait for the month and year named in the vote.
What happens next
1. Approval is recorded with a specified month and year. 2. The person remains confined until that future date; the exact wait depends on the date listed. 3. Release processing then occurs; timing varies.
What you can do now
  • Write down the month and year shown with the FI-2 vote.
  • Keep the release address and family contact details current.
  • Prepare housing, transportation, and basic needs for the future date.
  • Watch for official correspondence about conditions and release details.
Families often get this wrong
The future month and year are part of the approval; FI-2 does not promise release on the day the vote appears.
