Your question was cut off so I'll assume you are asking how do you get your son's parole transferred from CA to SC.
First of all, transferring a parole is done at the discretion of the authorities. Also, if one state agrees the other state has to as well. Looks like that half of that has already been accomplished - SC has agreed. This will make it much easier for you.
It sounds as though your son is still incarcerated but will be released shortly. In that case, find out who will be handling his parole and contact them (phone plus follow-up letter). Explain the situation - SC has already agreed, his family is in SC, and his chances of finding employment will be better there. CA would more than likely agree to a transfer. Unless there is some compelling reason to keep him in the state, as far as CA is concerned, it will be one less parolee to worry about.
