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.

When someone is in jail or prison, all communication is controlled for security reasons. Facilities have to monitor who inmates talk to, what is being said, and how often. That is why everything goes through approved systems like phone providers, video visitation apps, mail, or messaging platforms.
