How often must I meet with my parole officer?

In South Carolina, the frequency of meetings with your parole officer will depend on the specific parole terms you have been assigned. Generally, most parolees will meet with their parole officer at least once a month. Your parole officer will also likely conduct an in-person visit at least once every three months. Additionally, you may be required to complete random drug tests, make monthly or bi-weekly phone calls to your parole officer, and participate in programs such as job training or substance abuse treatment. Your parole officer will inform you of the exact frequency and requirements of your parole. If you feel that the frequency of meetings is overly burdensome or otherwise interfering with your life, you can file a request for a variance. This request should be filed with the parole board that granted your parole. They may then modify the frequency of meetings or visits, or other terms of your parole. Overall, the frequency of meetings and visits with your parole officer is important for your successful and timely completion of parole. You should strive to adhere to the requirements as set forth by your parole officer or parole board, and take full advantage of the resources and programs to which you have been assigned.
