Luzerne County PA on Wednesday launched a new automated system online to notify victims and the public when an inmate is released from county prison.
Previously, members of the prison would call a victim when the inmate was released. There was no guarantee the person would be notified if the initial calls didn't reach the victim.
Now, victims and anyone interested will have repeated automated calls placed to them immediately. The calls will be placed every 15 minutes for 24 hours until the person is reached. There is also an option to receive notice by e-mail.
About 100 people attended a press conference Wednesday held by Luzerne County PA District Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll. The system, known as SAVIN, or Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification, was praised as a way for victims to prepare for the release of their perpetrators and to take appropriate steps to keep safe.
