parole officers
Conditional freedom watchers
Parole officers are government employees who supervise people released from prison before the end of their sentences.
They monitor compliance with parole conditions, conduct regular check-ins, administer drug tests, and can recommend that a parolee be returned to prison for violations.
The job combines elements of law enforcement and social work, as officers both enforce rules and help former inmates find employment and housing.
