Offender Release Notification
Under Pennsylvania law, you have the right to be notified of the release of an offender from a county correctional facility if you are a victim of a personal injury crime, including violation of any protection order issued as a result of domestic violence. Notification includes the offender’s release on work release, furlough, parole or community service placement and immediate notification of the escape of the offender. This includes release from a boot camp.
