If the 2010 report has been released I didnt find it; these figures are for 2009, reporting being turned in at the end of 2008: 828,169 people on parole from prison/jail.

This does not include the number of convicted criminals on probation, never having served any time behind bars (probationers are sentenced and the sentence suspended with probation terms, assigned a probation officer; if probation is violated, they will then go to prison/jail to serve out the remainder of their sentences). Following are the complete stats:

  • Nearly 5.1 million adults were under community supervision at yearend 2008.the equivalent of about 1 in every 45 adults in the United States.
  • Probationers (4,270,917) represented the majority (84%) of the community supervision population in 2008; parolees (828,169) accounted for a smaller share (16%).
  • The probation (0.9%) and parole (0.9%) populations grew at the same rate during 2008. The probation population increased by 36,446 probationers while the parole population increased by 6,992 parolees during the year.

Being on probation or parole does not limit anyone's right to get married. Indeed, even people who are actually in prison sometimes get married, strange though that may seem. So yes, an African student can marry a US citizen who is on probation or parole.

Are parole guidelines different from state to state?

In the US, each state has its own corrections policies for their respective prison systems. This is because the US Constitution is set up to allow states to handle all powers not granted to the Federal government. With that in mind, states create policies for parole that meet their needs. There is one common thread, however, that all states agree about. That policy is this: anyone on parole who breaks the parole "rules", will be sent back to prison and their parole is revoked.
