Access Renewal #1 Release Records

Identify Renewal #1 Authority

Renewal #1 appears in the state community-corrections system at 339 Boulevard of the Allies. Its residents are tied to PA DOC authority. By contrast, Allegheny County also contracts with Renewal for alternative housing. The organization name overlaps, but the placement records and release paths do not. Confusing the two can send a state case to ACJ or treat a county transfer as a state parole event.

Look for the identifier and commitment. A PA DOC inmate or parole number, a DOC locator match, or a state commitment points to Renewal #1. An ACJ booking number and a county alternative-housing answer point to the separate county path. The physical setting and operator do not override the authority named in the record.

Confirm Renewal #1 Release

Once state authority is established, search the statewide locator. Check the inmate route for a person still in a DOC-controlled placement and the department-supervised-person route when a transition to state parole is expected. Search by number when possible. A name-only match needs corroboration through date of birth, current location, and other identifiers.

1. Open the PA DOC locator and select the appropriate inmate or supervised-person search.
2. Enter the inmate number or parole number. Use name and identity filters only when needed.
3. Open the matching detail and note the exact current location and Release Date labels.
4. If Renewal #1 remains the location, describe it as a controlled community-corrections placement.
5. If the result points to parole, confirm the state supervision office and distinguish release from later discharge.

A county booking that never became a state commitment belongs in the Allegheny County release and records route, not the Renewal #1 DOC path.

Read Renewal #1 Locator Results

The locator's verified public fields include inmate and parole numbers, date of birth, current location, Release Date, and an available image. No verified public field is labeled “Projected Release Date” or “Tentative Release Date.” The word “Release Date” should be retained without adding certainty that the interface does not provide.

A Release Date paired with a parole number can support the conclusion that the person left prison or a residential custody stage for state supervision. It does not show that the maximum sentence expired or that parole was discharged. A current Renewal #1 location, meanwhile, indicates community corrections rather than unconditional release.

PA DOC guidance does not provide exact planned release dates to the general public. Parole eligibility, Board action, home-plan approval, release orders, DOC scheduling, and outstanding holds can all sit between a sentence date and an actual exit.

Renewal #1 Contact Details

The facility contact is useful for basic routing, but it is not a replacement for the statewide locator or the assigned parole office. Renewal #1 is a DOC Community Contract Facility at the published downtown address. The listed phone number is specific to this location and should not be treated as the universal number for every Renewal county program.

Use the official PA DOC office directory to confirm current assignment. Allegheny Adult Probation handles ordinary county cases and is not the supervising office for an ordinary PA DOC parole case.

Request Renewal #1 Records

A public locator result may be enough for a current status check. For a durable document, direct a precise request to PA DOC. Include the inmate number, Renewal #1, a narrow date range, and the exact existing placement, movement, Release Date, destination, or supervision field sought. Asking for a newly calculated exit forecast is different from requesting an existing record and may seek information the public system does not provide.

The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Right-to-Know Law Office is at the Office of Chief Counsel, 1920 Technology Parkway, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050. Contact is available at 717-728-7763 and RA-docrighttoknow@pa.gov. An agency response may grant the record, redact protected data, or explain why material is withheld. The law does not require DOC to create a new document.

Committing authority

The government system with legal control over the placement.

Community Contract Facility

A contracted PA DOC monitored residential setting.

Parole

Conditional release under continuing state supervision.

Discharge

The later end of the relevant supervision term.

The UJS docket can corroborate sentence and parole-related events, though it is not a live location tool. A court date and a DOC movement date may differ because they document different parts of the process.

Renewal #1 Detainer Questions

A favorable parole decision does not always result in release to personal custody. Pennsylvania can parole a person to a detainer, allowing another authority to take custody. A failed or expired home plan, misconduct, a warrant, recalculation, or another sentence can also affect the transition. A move away from Renewal #1 therefore needs a destination before it is labeled community release.

Allegheny County's Policy 220 concerns ACJ, not Renewal #1. Its rule that certain civil immigration detainers and administrative warrants do not delay an otherwise authorized county-jail release cannot be imported into this DOC placement. For Renewal #1, use the state record and the named receiving agency to understand any hold or transfer.

If the question truly involves ICE, check the official immigration channel after reviewing the DOC event. Do not infer an immigration handoff from a missing state result. The supported language may be “released to state parole,” “transferred to another authority,” “still at Renewal #1,” or “state supervision discharged,” depending on the record.

Renewal #1 Release Milestones

A state sentence usually has judicial minimum and maximum dates. The minimum is ordinarily the first point of parole eligibility, not a guaranteed exit. Pennsylvania does not have a universal rule requiring every person to serve 85 percent of the maximum. Nor should a general good-time percentage be applied to a Renewal #1 resident without the official sentence computation.

Some qualifying cases involve RRRI or Short Sentence Parole, but each program has statutory limits. Even after eligibility or a grant, DOC must process the release order and address the home plan, schedule, and holds. The actual Renewal #1 transition is the event that the locator, DOC record, and parole office can help establish.

Final discharge comes later when state supervision ends. Keep that milestone separate from leaving an SCI, arriving at Renewal #1, or moving from Renewal #1 into parole. Precise labels make the record useful and avoid overstating what one status field proves.

PA SAVIN/VINELink may supply a participating state custody or parole alert. It is not the official DOC release record. Read the event label, save the date checked, and verify the transition in the locator. A move notification can reflect another controlled placement rather than a community exit.

When the sources use different dates, identify their scope. A docket may show the legal order, the locator may show a Release Date, and a parole office may describe current supervision. Those facts can coexist without marking the same moment.
