Conditions of Parole and Release from Prison
When one is released from prison on a condition of parole, there are several conditions that an inmate is agreeing to in order to be released. A parole violation occurs when you violate these conditions placed on you when released. When you are released in this manner, you are put on parole for a set amount of time, under the supervision of a parole officer. You are given very specific guidelines you must comply with in order to not be in violation of your parole. They include:
- Regular reporting to the Parole Officer
- Updating your residence address with your Parole Officer
- Providing notice of change in employment within 72 hours
- Reporting any new arrest
- Not associating with other felons
- Remaining in the general area assigned as your parole area

Also, depending on the crime convicted of, there can be further restrictions, which are:
- Staying a certain distance from schools or playgrounds
- Random drug testing
- Not associating with gang members
