Victim Notifications
The Victim Services Division is responsible for making notification to victims and witnesses of an offender's pending release or participation in CTP. Notification is made forty-five (45) days prior to an offender's release. A staff member is on call 24 hours a day to ensure victims and witnesses are notified promptly in an emergency. Victims are encouraged to keep contact information up-to-date and current. If contact information is not updated, notification may be impossible.
The Indiana Parole Board is available to assist victims who have safety concerns in regard to an offender's parole release. If you have safety concerns, you may contact the Indiana Parole Board at (317) 232-5673.
Additionally, Victims have the option of writing to the court of conviction regarding the offender’s release to CTP. The judge makes the final decision about CTP participation and if approved, the victim(s) will be notified 5-7 days before the offender is released to the program.
Victim Notification is confidential. Therefore, the offender will not be informed of the notification request, nor will any victim information be available to the offender, the offender's attorney, or the public.
The Department provides two types of notifications, manual and automated. Residents who sign up for the program will be notified via telephone or email.
