All offenders previously tentatively granted release on parole will continue to be processed for release pursuant to the individual release requirements established by the parole board during their parole hearing.

All HPA offices statewide will continue to be open daily (Monday – Friday) from 7:45am – 4:30pm. Previously modified procedures regarding public access to our offices will remain in place. Each office has signage posted informing visitors about the temporary restrictions, which are designed to ensure the health and safety of our staff and those that visit our offices. All regular telephone lines are operational, but due to very limited staffing at some locations, responses to inquiries will be delayed. Please call 1 (808) 253-1642 to receive recorded updates. We encourage everyone to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones during this public health emergency.
