Clemency Hearings are held by the Pardon & Parole Board as a final step of the appeals process to stop an execution of prisoners sentenced to death. When OK-CADP receives such a notice, we contact the prisoner’s attorney for advice on how we can best be of assistance and then proceed with contacts to the P & P Board, Attorney General and/or Governor and attend the clemency hearing which is held at the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, 4345 N. Lincoln Boulevard, Oklahoma City, 73105. To view. the clemency hearing online, visit https://oklahoma.gov/ppb/about/board-meetings.html
Often in our efforts to stop an execution an on-line Petition is circulated and then delivered to the Governor in person at the appropriate time.
Letters, emails, and phone calls need to go to the Governor and Pardon & Parole Board:
