Parole, Probation & Supervised Release

My wife got her parole papers she has a drug program, where?

My wife just got her parole papers they say she made parole but, it says she has to complete a drug program. How do we found out if it's on street or she has to remain locked up?

Most likely it's a mix of both.

Most likely it's a mix of both. The program will probably be in some reentry facility that will alternately offer the drug counseling but also job placement - where she works on the street but sleeps there at night... for a transition period leading to getting all the way home (remember there is a range of possibilities we are just speculating...). You may obtain all of that information as it will be on the Parole Report as approved by the Board.
