The Maine Commission on Public Defense Services is statutorily responsible for providing the Department of Corrections (DOC) and every Sheriff's Office in the State of Maine with the phone numbers of the attorneys who represent criminal defendants. 4 M.R.S. § 1804(3)(P). The DOC and jails will then add the phone numbers you provide to the list of protected phone numbers not subject to recording. To comply with our statutory requirement, PDS will use the form below. You may include up to 12 phone numbers using this form. Please note that changing your primary and alternate phone numbers in your user profile will not update your phone numbers here. Similarly, updating your phone numbers here will not update them in your user profile. To better ensure that your phone calls to your incarcerated clients will not be recorded, please provide the numbers you need screened using this form rather than by editing your user profile.
Please note that you must be logged in to access the form and update the phone number PDS will report to the DOC and Jails.
