Whether or not a person who is convicted of a crime is incarcerated in a state or federal facility, a secured rehabilitation center or an optional facility ("halfway house, work release program, house arrest, etc.) depends upon the recommendation of the prosecutor and the decision of the presiding judge. Such decisions are based upon the severity of the criminal offense and the convicted individual's past criminal history (if any), and the likelihood that the person is a threat to other individuals or society in general.

That depends entirely on your individual PO.

If your PO decides to not report it, consider yourself lucky. If your PO reports it, then the magistrate CAN choose not to hear the case, but this is even less likely. So to answer your question, yes, you can yield a positive test and get away with it, but don't bother rolling the dice because your odds of escape are usually extraordinarily low.

There are certain things the parole board is looking for before a prisoner can be released. They must admit their crimes and show remorse.

They also like to know that the inmate has some kind of plan, where they will live, do the hava a job lined up, ect. And lastly, they want to be reassured that this prisoner will not reoffend. That's a hard one. A large amount of prisoners will reoffend and they want to make sure that the inmate is really ready to face the world outside the prison's walls.
