From: [INMATE NAME], ACI number [________________________________]
Facility: [________________________________]
Date: [__/__/____]
Subject: Request for consideration of furlough
Dear Furlough Coordinator:
I request consideration for a furlough under 240-RICR-40-00-2. Please process the Department's Attachment 1 application with this supporting request. The regulation says the inmate prepares and signs Attachment 1 in duplicate for submission to the Furlough Coordinator. This letter is supporting material and does not replace that application or the Department's decision.
Purpose and proposed itinerary
☐ Visit a seriously ill immediate family member or attend a wake or funeral.
☐ Obtain health care services.
☐ Seek employment or training.
☐ Secure a residence for release or parole.
☐ Visit immediate family or another person with an established visitation pattern.
☐ Obtain a marriage license or related permit.

Reason and supporting facts: [________________________________]
Requested departure: [__/__/____] at [____:____]
Requested return: [__/__/____] at [____:____]
Destination and telephone: [________________________________]
Sponsor and transportation plan: [________________________________]
Documents submitted with Attachment 1: [________________________________]
The requested period is [____] day(s). Section 2.3(B) of the regulation states a limit of 14 days in any six-month period. I understand that the Classification Board's vote and the Director's or designee's approval control a furlough request; while on furlough I remain committed to ACI confinement. I will follow all approved conditions and return instructions.
Please review my eligibility and classification under the applicable category. For a scheduled request, I will follow the regulation's advance application timing. If this is an emergency involving serious family illness, a funeral, or health care, I request prompt routing under the regulation's emergency process. Additional facts supporting urgency: [________________________________].
Respectfully,
Inmate signature: [________________________________]

Legal authority
- 240-RICR-40-00-2 (Department of Corrections inmate furlough regulation)
Criminal law paperwork covers every stage of a criminal case, from the first appearance and bail motion through pretrial motions, plea agreements, sentencing, and appeals. Deadlines in criminal cases are short and often unforgiving, and constitutional rights can be waived just by missing a filing. Using the right motion at the right time can mean the difference between evidence getting suppressed, charges getting reduced, or a case getting dismissed entirely.
