Are there home plans available to parole violators with a short sentence?

I have a question, My girlfiend was off parol in February an a week ago the parol officer put out a warrent for her an she slightly faild a thc test an she was sent back to tioga prison an got 60 days I talked to her the past few times an they talked about a home plan. Does that mean shes comeing home sooner than 60 days

It is possible, it might be similar to a house arrest-type arrangement, too.

It is possible, it might be similar to a house arrest-type arrangement, too. Whatever the case, 60 days is a bearable sentence in light of this being a parole violation. By the short sentence imposed, it would appear that the PO had a little more sensibility with a positive THC test than if another drug found. Your girlfriend needs to think before smoking until her parole time is over. Then next violation is going to be a lot longer. It can't be worth going back again and again.
