How long does it take to complete an application?

Most users complete their commutation application in about 30 minutes using the guided interview. You can save your progress and return at any time. The application covers personal information, offense details, institutional conduct, rehabilitation efforts, and release plans.

What happens after I submit my commutation application?

After downloading your completed PDF from Commutation.app, you submit it to the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board (PPB). The PPB reviews applications and schedules hearings. Processing times vary, but the PPB typically meets monthly. Commutation.app provides tracking tools to monitor your application status.

The Trajectory

On Track to Reclaim #1

Oklahoma held the #1 incarceration rate as recently as 2018. A brief period of reform (SQ 780) dropped the population from 27,000 to 22,000. But those reforms are being systematically rolled back.

Prison population has grown for 3 consecutive years. Right On Crime projects Oklahoma will reach 31,000+ incarcerated by 2028, a 14% increase that would surpass the 2018 peak.
