Conditions of Parole

We've received a few questions asking about the different conditions that can be placed on a person when they are released on parole. Keep in mind that each case is different and there can be other, case specific conditions than the ones listed below.
 
Below is a list of the standard conditions of parole.  We cannot answer specifically what conditions apply to a parolee because each case is different.   However, the list should provide a general idea of the typical parole conditions:

  • Report regularly to parole officer;
  • Obtain permission in advance for any travel out of a county;
  • Submit to random searches of their homes, cars and persons (including blood, urine and saliva testing, for disease, drugs or other contraband);
  • Obey all laws;
  • Refrain from using, buying or selling alcohol or illegal drugs;
  • Avoid certain people, such as victims, witnesses, gang members or persons with criminal records;
  • Pay money for court-ordered restitution; and
  • Attend classes or counseling sessions, such as court-ordered drug or alcohol treatment classes or anger management classes.
