FAQs

Any person who has been registered with the Pardon and Parole Board and has been victimized by an inmate who has been sentenced to incarceration through the Oklahoma Department of Corrections is eligible to receive information and notification from the Pardon and Parole Board.

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board (PPB) Victim Notification Program notifies registered and victim representatives of any parole hearings and results in which the inmate will be considered by the Board and provides an opportunity for the victim or victim's representatives to provide input to the Board.

The form can be downloaded on Victim Services; click on the notification request form, which is highlighted in red. Submit the form to the address listed on the form.

Once the form is on file, a letter will be sent approximately twenty (20) days prior to the inmate’s consideration date for regular parole hearing, a Stage II parole hearing, a Stage II Commutation hearing, or a medical parole request advising the victim or victim’s representatives of the time, date, and place of the parole hearing, as per Title 57 O.S. §332.2.

If the victim does not register, no notifications will be sent. The Board does not know who the victims or the victim’s representatives are in an inmate's case.

No, the PPB Victim Notification Program is separate from the VINE Notification Program. VINE is implemented through the Office of the Attorney General. For more information on VINE, call 1-877-654-8463 or go to www.vinelink.com.

Yes, however, the one form will enroll the victim or the victim's representative in both the Pardon and Parole Board and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

This notification program will notify interested parties when an inmate moves to a different facility or discharges their sentence and leaves prison.
