Who does the PA probation and parole board answer to?
The Pennsylvania Board of Probation & Parole does not fall under or answer to the Dept. of Corrections. The Parole Board answers to the state senate for funding purposes and is under the direct control of the Governor. Local probation offices answer to the President Judge of the county except for two counties in PA which do not have their own county Probation Departments. In those two counties the PA Board of Probation & Parole supervises the county probation or county parole cases.
What is the difference between Parole officer and Probation officer. If anybody know about this please let you know?
Probationers are under the jurisdiction of the courts and are attempting to avoid the imposition of a suspended prison sentence by complying with the conditions of probation. Parolees are inmates allowed to serve their time in the community and are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections. In some states one agency supervises both types of offenders and in others there are separate probation and parole agencies. I personally supervise a combined caseload of adult felony probationers and parolees.

Can a person be on probation and parole at the same time?
Yes, however, it's very rare. Under general circumstances, if the individual is on parole, then they've just been released from a state correctional facility. For the individual to be put on probation (after release), it means that the parolee committed a new crime, which means the parolee also violated the parole agreement. If this were to happen, usually, the parole would be revoked and the individual would go back to prison. However, in rare circumstances, the parole board will give the parolee "another chance", and not send the parolee to prison.
Can federal correctional officers be around parolees while off duty?
No, not if the ex-offender is still under supervision (parole or probation).
Can you secure a liquor license in California if you received a DUI but are no longer on probation?
If you received a DUI but are no longer on probation or parole and you have been off probation or parole for a reasonable period of time, you may qualify to be a licensee on an alcoholic beverage license, as long as you are not on probation or parole for any other offenses, or have not been convicted of or plead guilty or no contest to any crime involving moral turpitude (theft, fraud, drugs, pornography, etc.). Before bidding on any alcoholic beverage license, you should check with your Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control's District Office to make sure you qualify to be an alcoholic beverage license licensee and/or that you have been off probation or parole long enough to qualify. Under certain circumstances, the commission of a state or federal crime may prevent you from ever being a licensee on an alcoholic beverage license whether or not you have completed probation or parole.

He is known as the "Father of Probation" for his pioneering work in advocating for the practice of releasing offenders on probation under the supervision of volunteers rather than imprisonment.
Can convicted felons enter the State of Minnesota?
Yes. They can enter any State. If they are currently on parole or probation they would probably need permission to travel to another state from their probation/parole officer. Supervision can also be transferred to another state with the receiving state's consent by interstate compact agreement. If the convicted felon is no longer on probation or parole supervision they can move to wherever they want (unless a sex offender).

Can you legally posess pot when on parole in California?
