Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole

The Tennessee Board of Probation and Parole is a state agency that oversees the release and supervision of individuals on probation or parole. Its primary role is to ensure that people who are reintegrating into the community after serving time in prison do so safely and responsibly. The board assesses eligibility for parole, conducts hearings, and sets conditions for parolees, such as regular check-ins or drug testing. The goal is to reduce recidivism and support rehabilitation while balancing public safety, ensuring that those who have served their time can successfully transition back into society.
