If the victim wishes to attend a violation hearing, the VSC will accompany the victim and explain the hearing process to them. Parole and Pardon Hearings are conducted at 2221 Devine Street. However, during Parole hearings, inmates will be located at one of the S.C. Dept. of Corrections Institutions. The inmates communicate with the board via Videoconferencing, and are not seen by the victims. During Pardon hearings, victims wait in a separate waiting room, and do not present testimony until after the offender has left the room.
Every effort is made to ensure that there is no contact between the victim and the offender.
We ask that you limit this number to five persons. In fairness to all victims who may want to attend that day, we want to make sure there is adequate space for everyone. However, if you feel that you must bring more than five, contact the Office of Victim Services. There is ample free parking on all sides of the building. The largest area of parking is behind the building.
