SCDPPPS would never call family members of incarcerated individuals to request money for early inmate release. If you receive a scam call, contact local law enforcement and report it to the FTC.
Crime victims must register with the Office of Victim Services in order to be notified of upcoming parole hearings. Should you move or if your contact information changes, please notify the Office of Victim Services immediately to ensure you receive timely notifications. You may submit any changes via email at victimservices@ppp.sc.gov or by telephone at 803-734-4770.
*The S.C. Department of Corrections, a separate agency, will notify you in the event of escape or release on a community program, provided they have your notification request on file. Please contact SCDC Victim Services, at 803-896-1733 or 1-800-835-0304 if you live outside the Columbia area, for more information or to answer questions concerning this matter.
