Sentencing Questions

What happens before my son is released on parole and how will I know when?

How do I find out the rule for ME when my son gets paroled and comes to live with me? I'm guessing I have to talk to his case manager, is that true?

You will be visited by someone from the state's Probation Department.

You will be visited by someone from the state's Probation Department. They will inspect your home and interview you about how you feel about having your son back home, your expectations, etc. The release date will be available in the package of material from probation. There will be some forms you will have to sign prior to them deeming your home suitable for him to stay there.
