Board of Pardons and Paroles
Protection of the public and the successful reintegration of the offender back into the community are the hallmarks of parole supervision. Parole officers, working under the guidance of the Parole Board and agency managers, are the heart and soul of parole supervision. Their goal is to carefully transition the offender back into the community and to quickly reincarcerate those offenders who choose to disregard the conditions of parole.
An inmate granted a release by the Board must abide by several conditions. Violation of any condition may result in arrest and parole revocation. Standard conditions which apply to all parolees include following all instructions from the parole officer, gainfully working, abiding by all laws, remaining in Georgia, receiving permission to change address, paying any court-ordered child support, paying a parole supervision fee or victim compensation fee and, if applicable, paying restitution. Parolees may not own or use a gun or other deadly weapon.
In addition the Board may impose special conditions appropriate to the individual's case, such as drug or alcohol treatment, mental health counseling, prohibitions on travel or associations, bans on driving, or compliance with electronic monitoring procedures.
