If your PO says that there is a form then there probably is.  They would know; possibly they can help you obtain it.  If not, you should contact the public defenders's office.  Chances are they either have this form or can at least tell you where to go to get it.  Let them know that they don't have to take your case, just that you need help in getting the form (of course if you financially qualify you could ask for their help).  Additionally, you could try legal aid as well, or see if there is a law school nearby to you.  Many times they have free/low cost clinics that can help with this sort of thing. 

Good luck.
