Confidentiality Statement
Based on the law that created the office, all documents and information obtained during an investigation is considered confidential, therefore we do not provide copies to prisoners, family members, attorneys, or any other outside party.
Correspondence between a prisoner/parolee and the Ombudsman is also confidential and must be processed as privileged correspondence in the same manner as letters between prisoners and courts, attorneys, or public officials. Prisoners/parolees are not to be penalized in any way by an official or the department for filing a complaint, complaining to a Legislator, or cooperating with the Ombudsman in an investigation.
