parole officer

A parole officer is a legal professional who supervises individuals released from prison under parole, ensuring they follow specific conditions set by the court or parole board. Their role includes monitoring behavior, providing support for reintegration into society, and helping parolees access resources like counseling or job training. They aim to assist parolees in maintaining compliance with their release terms, reduce the risk of reoffending, and promote public safety. Parole officers also report on parolee progress and may take action if the individual violates parole conditions.
