Those on parole are not allowed to commit crimes, and even the smallest infraction will send them right back to prison.

Who does a parole officer answer to if they violate a parolee's rights?
They would answer to law enforcement and the courts.
Can a parolee be release to a home where he had no domestic violence case?
That would depend on the parolee's parole officer and the laws of the court and county. If there was no violence in the home, the parole officer could allow the parolee to live at that home. Also, if the parolee is following the requirements of the court, this would make it seem better for him in the eyes of the court.
When a parolee gets married can he move in with his wife or does he stay at the address where his parole was approved?
That would be at the discretion of his Parole Officer.
Can you travel with someone on parole?
Yes, however if the parolee does not have the permission (preferably written) of his Parole Officer, it would not be advisable.
Is it illegal for a parolee to have a mailing address and a living address?
You would have to check this out with your Parole Officer. If the two addresses are an attempt to 'conceal' the parolee's actual place of residence, yes, it most certainly would be.
Can a parolee possess a hunting rifle for hunting?
Not if paroled for a felony- Federal law. For misdemeanor, it would be up to the Parole Officer.
What can you do if a parolee has threatened you or assaulted you?
You do nothing. The person who was threatened may file charges with local law enforcement for Communicating a Threat against the person who threatened them. Keep in mind that little may actually be done to address the allegation, but that there may be consequences you may face.
Can a parole officer stop a parolee with a valid license from driving for work in NY?
Yes, if driving is restricted as a parole stipulation, or the PO has reasonable grounds for doing so. Typically, driving restrictions are the result of a DUI/OWI/OUIL conviction, so it would follow that driving restrictions would be instituted.
Sample Letter for parole hearing?
Depends on who the parolee is and if he has proven himself trustworthy.
Do probation officers have to be consulted prior to calling the police on another party?
No. The parole condition prohibiting contact with police is not the incidental type. Any parolee who witnesses a crime is expected by his parole officer to contact the appropriate law enforcement department and report it. This demonstrates responsible behavior. Having done so, the parolee would need to contact his PO and report it, typically within 24 to 72 hours.
Is it a good thing if a parole officer shows up at your house before the inmate finds out his results for parole?
It can be a good indication that the offender will get parole, but it is no guarantee. It is possible (although not probable) that it is policy that the PO inspect all potential parolee placements. The reason it is improbable is the sheer number of inspections the PO's would be required to do, so it is likely they focus only on those likely to be granted parole.
Can a parole officer stop a parolee from living with their spouse if they get married?
Most likely not, but there are strict rules about avoiding the circumstances of past crimes or associating with people that will encourage you to commit crime, so if your potential spouse is a criminal or someone who has a bad influence on you, there could be repercussions. Also, if the original crime was sexual in nature and the object of that crime is the potential spouse, especially if there is any hint of coercion or power games, then of course it would affect parole.
