California Penal Code Section 679.03(a) states that victims, next of kin, and witnesses have the right to be notified of an offender’s release, death, escape and parole hearings.  When requesting a registration for notification of an offender in state prison, only victims, their next of kin, and witnesses who testified against the offender are allowed to request a registration for services and information about an offender in state prison.  Unauthorized access, misuse, and attempts to change information on this website are strictly prohibited and may subject you to criminal prosecution and/or civil liability.  If you are not a victim, next of kin, or witness who testified against the offender and you are looking for information about an offender in state prison, please go to inmatelocator.cdcr.ca.gov.  The information required on this form is necessary to process your request for victim services and information.  Failure to provide any of the information requested may prevent the Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services from processing your request.  All information will remain confidential per Penal Code section 679.03(c).  Your request for services and information about an offender in a state prison is subject to review and will be either approved or denied by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services.
