Scam Alert

SCDPPPS would never call family members of incarcerated individuals to request money for early inmate release. If you receive a scam call, contact local law enforcement and report it to the FTC.

The Office of Research and Evaluation is responsible for producing a variety of reports, including statistical summaries of SCDPPPS’ population and recidivism reporting, and reviewing all unsolicited data requests and research proposals.

A completed Request for Data Form(PDF) must be submitted for all data requests, and submitted by email to Research.Evaluation@ppp.sc.gov. Due to the multi-level review process, decisions may take several weeks. Please consider the length of time a review may take when submitting a data request or research proposal.
