Parole, Probation & Supervised Release

Can a released inmate transfer to a county closer to home?

My brother is serving his time in Alaska with no family and little support, will he be able to come home to VA if he is closely supervised and follows a program after his release in 2020?

Yes, probably.

Yes, probably. He will have to get the Probation Office in the county he wishes to transfer to in Virginia to coordinate the transfer of supervision over to them. It is a very common thing, however, the offender must have a suitable home to live in, a job and the ability to pay back any fees related to the supervision. Not to mention, his conduct record, while incarcerated, will have a large bearing on whether they will consider this.
