Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 21-142A-12: Contesting parole – Notification of victims

A. Any victim or representative of a victim of a violent crime

as provided in paragraph 2 of Section 571 of Title 57 of the

Oklahoma Statutes may contest the granting of parole as provided in

Section 332.7 of Title 57 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

B. The Pardon and Parole Board shall notify all victims or

representatives of a victim, if requested, in writing at least

twenty (20) days before an inmate is considered for parole by the

Board. The notice shall include the date, time and place of the

scheduled meeting and the rules for attendance and providing

information. The victim or representative of the victim shall be

allowed at least five (5) minutes to address the Board. The Board

shall notify all victims or representatives of a victim of the

decision of the Board within twenty (20) days after the inmate is

considered for parole by the Board.

C. It is the responsibility of the victim or representative of

the victim to provide the Pardon and Parole Board a current mailing

address. The district attorney's office shall assist the victim or

representative of the victim with supplying the address of the

victim to the Board if the victim wishes to be notified. Upon

failure of the Pardon and Parole Board to notify a victim who has

requested notification and has provided a current mailing address,

the final decision of the Board may be voidable, provided the victim

who failed to receive notification requests a reconsideration

hearing within thirty (30) days of the recommendation by the Board

for parole.

D. If requested by the victim of a crime, the Pardon and Parole

Board shall provide written notification of the placement of the

inmate on specialized parole within the county or incorporated city

or town to any victim of the crime for which the inmate was

convicted by mailing the notification to the last-known address of

the victim. The Board shall not give the address of the inmate to

any victim of the crime for which the inmate was convicted.
