Camp Hill Staff, Inmates Learn About Commutations, Clemency

On Feb. 4, Director of Standards, Audits, Assessments and Compliance Steven Burk and Parole Manager Shelly Watson conducted a commutation and clemency training at SCI Camp Hill for staff and inmates. Burk and Watson gave a detailed explanation of the process from how to properly fill out the application to what to expect if an applicant is granted a personal interview with the Board of Pardons. Burk explained what factors were considered by the board during the evaluation process as well as what the difference was between a merit review and a public hearing and what could be expected at each event. Watson and Burk took questions at the end of the session and provided a packet of information for each attendee for reference. It was a very informative session for all who attended.
