How will my parole agent know about my disability and my related special needs?
Your correctional counselor in the prison is required to notify your parole agent about your disability and related special needs. Your correctional counselor should do this by providing information on CDCR Form 611, “Release Program Study” (RPS) (see a copy of this form in Appendix S, PG. 294) and additional specific forms that explain the accommodations you need. If you have a physical disability, your correctional counselor should use CDCR Form 1845 (see example in Appendix T, PG. 300); and if you have a developmental disability, your correctional counselor should use CDCR Form 128C-2 (see example in Appendix U, PG. 303). If you see that the information about your disability is not on your Form 611 RPS, tell your correctional counselor (if you’re still incarcerated) or your parole agent (if you’re out). If, after you talk to your correctional counselor or parole agent, your disability is still not being recorded or accommodated, file an appeal. The appeal process is explained on PG. 187.
