What regulations govern the terms of conditional release while on parole or probation?

The North Dakota Parole and Probation Law outlines the regulations that govern the terms of conditional release while on parole or probation. When a person is on parole or probation, they must adhere to certain terms and conditions to remain in compliance with the law. Parole and probation are both forms of community supervision. These forms of supervision are granted to individuals who have been convicted of a crime that does not merit a jail sentence. Other than following the terms and conditions of their probation or parole, a person on parole or probation must also abide by all laws and stay out of trouble. A person on probation or parole must adhere to all conditions and terms specified as part of their formal release agreement. Common terms may include reporting to their assigned probation or parole officer, attending supervision or therapy sessions, submitting to random drug tests or searches, abstaining from alcohol or drug use, refraining from contact with certain people, and engaging in positive behavior. Violation of the conditions of parole or probation could result in revocation of the agreement and further legal consequences. It is important that those on parole or probation meet all the terms of their release to remain in compliance. Failure to do so could result in consequences such as being sent back to court and potentially to jail or prison.
