FIRST STEPS
Take Advantage of Transitional Services Programs in Your Facility
These programs offer important help as you plan reentry into the outside community. They will help
you gather the documents you need (see lists below). You can have many or most of them when you
leave prison. They will in many cases show updated listings of agencies and community groups that
can help you in finding a job and locating helpful public services. They can give you information
about possibilities for education and training. website: www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us
Release to Parole:
New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision NYSDOCCS
represents the merger of the Department of Correctional Services with the Division of Parole.
When released to Parole, you must report to your assigned Parole Office within 24 hours of the time
of release. Read and follow carefully the list of instructions and requirements for people on parole.
While In Prison Or Soon After Release, Gather Together the Documents That You Will Need.
1. Keep your inmate photo ID. Keep a copy of prison release papers to be eligible for some
benefits or programs. If lost, write for copies to the facility in which you are/were incarcerated.
2. Try to have several other IDs when you leave prison. If you dont have them upon release, get
them as soon as possible. Parole and Probation Officers and community agencies can help. You
will need:
3. A Social Security Card and proof of identification (a Birth Certificate or Passport, Drivers
License or Non-Driver Photo ID for example).
4. For Drivers License or Non-Driver ID: ex-prisoners are eligible only for Non-Driver ID until
Parole Officers approval for Drivers License. Must have Birth Certificate or Passport, Social
Security card, photo ID (e.g. Prisoner ID), and parole papers, all in the same name. Immigrants
need such documents as naturalization papers, resident card, foreign passport or similar papers.
Ask your Parole Officer for help with these, and you can get a list of acceptable documents from
the local Motor Vehicle office.
5. Others documents commonly required, or which may be quite helpful are:
- Certificate of Relief or Certificate of Good Conduct
Copies of Your Rap Sheet and Certificates. (see below)

Military Discharge Papers: DD214
Alien Registration Card for non-U.S. Citizens
Proof of Education and training (GED certificate, diploma, transcript, training certificate etc.)
Proof of Functional Disability if disabled
Getting Copies of Your Rap Sheet and Certificates:

Check the rap sheet for mistakes.
A rap sheet lists information about arrests, charges, convictions and sentences. To get a copy, file a
Request for Record Review with the Division of Criminal Justice Services (address below). There
is a $50 fee, but clients can ask for a waiver. Information is available on DCJS website. Get the
form, together with the instructions, requirements and amount of fees. When you receive the rap
III
sheet, make sure there are no mistakes. A Statement of Challenge form will be enclosed with the
rap sheet. If there is any error, fill out the form and send it to the Division of Criminal Justice
Services.
Legal Services
New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services
4 Tower Place, Albany NY 12203
www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us
518-485-7675
Be sure you know what is in the rap sheet (after any necessary corrections).
You may need to be able to discuss it accurately during interviews.
For certain jobs, you may need a Certificate of Rehabilitation. Employers are required to
consider these documents when making employment decisions.
a. Certificate of Relief
This can be issued by the Parole Board at the time of release from incarceration or at any later
time. If you have misdemeanors, or no more than one felony, you may apply for a Certificate of
Relief through the original court of conviction or the New York State Division of Parole. (Those
who were convicted outside NY State must apply to NYS Division of Parole rather than the court
of conviction.)
b. Certificate of Good Conduct
If you have more than one felony, you may apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct. This
certificate requires a waiting period from the date your sentence ended or the date of release to
Parole. If on Parole, your Parole Officer can help with your application, which is temporary until
you complete Parole. If not on Parole, contact the Division of Parole directly to get an application
and return the completed and notarized forms to that office:

Executive Clemency Bureau: 97 Central Ave., Albany NY 12206 518-473-5195
website: www.parole.state.ny.us
e-mail: nysparole@parole.state.ny.us
Further Steps to Take Before or After Release
1. Find out how to fill out employment applications: know questions employers are not allowed to
ask, and how best to answer some that may be asked.
2. Get help to clear any existing bench warrants.
3. Take action regarding Child Support. Immediately contact the Family Court which originally
decided your child support payment and get Family Court Form Petition for Modification of
Order Made by Family Court or Another Court. (This form is for NY courts only: for other
states contact original court in that state.) Sign the form and a Financial Disclosure Affidavit
before a notary, attach a copy of the original Child Support Order, and mail to the court as soon
as possible. Future payments can be modified to reflect your current income level and you can
ask for a workable payment plan for arrears. It may not be possible to erase or reduce arrearages,
but any present change can be made retroactive to the date of the filing of your Petition, so file
as soon as possible.
IV
4. Restore your voting rights when eligible: If incarcerated for misdemeanors, you may register to
vote in your home county and may vote by absentee ballot even while incarcerated. For a felony
conviction, you may register to vote (or reregister) if you have not been sentenced to
imprisonment, or you have finished serving your time and your period of parole or probation. (If
sentenced to probation, you do not lose the right to vote.) Get voter registration form at local
Board of Elections, Office of Department of Motor Vehicles, a state agency, or online at
www.elections.state.ny.us. Fill out. Mail or deliver to Board of Elections with proof of identity
and address.
Learning Changes in Daily Life:
Many things have no doubt changed since you left. Try to get help from a relative or neighbor to
learn the new ways of doing common activities.
Parole and Probation Officers or clergy can direct you to support groups or others who can help.
Busses may have new routes and schedules. Phone and phone bills are changing: cell phones are
often replacing land lines and there are phone cards that can be used on any phone. Watch those
phone calls--it is easy to pile up expenses.
Computers are a fact of life. Your local library may provide computer time for public use and free
instruction, or can direct you to others who do. For more advanced computer education (some of it
free), see table of contents, EDUCATION AND LIBRARY SERVICES and JOBS AND
TRAINING.
You will be shocked at prices for groceries, a can of soda, a new shirt, and of course rent. Check
your eligibility for food stamps and for help with heating and other living expenses. See
EMERGENCY SERVICES, FOOD, and CLOTHING, for temporary and long-term support. See
EDUCATION AND LIBRARY SERVICES and HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH & HIV/AIDS, for
help with budgeting and daily life skills. Above all, keep your eyes open and ask questions.
