A parole hold is generally the authorization to detain a person suspected of violating condition(s) of their parole. Parole holds are governed by federal and state laws, which vary by state.

For example, under California laws, a parole officer can impose a hold if the officer concludes that there is reasonable cause to believe the parolee has violated a condition of his parole and is a danger to himself, a danger to the person or property of another, or may abscond. A parole hold authorizes the detention of a parolee charged with an alleged parole violation pending a parole revocation hearing. The parole officer is not required to obtain an arrest warrant prior to placing the hold and taking the parolee into custody. Within seven days after detention pursuant to the parole hold, the parolee must be notified of the reasons for the hold.

What if your fiance is in a county jail being held on false charges. im pregnant due in December but he is on a parole hold. any advice how to get help so he can be there when his baby is born?

Since he is on a parole hold, the Court apparently has reason to believe he needs to be held in custody, and cannot be trusted on parole. You have little chance of him being present during the delivery, but you are always free to petition the Court. That is the only way. Were I you, I would plan on taking pictures.

It depends on which event occurred first. If the parole was granted BEFORE the transfer decision was made, then the parole would take precedence. An order of the court will always take precedence over an internal jail administrative decision.
