How can I find out if someone I know is on parole or probation?

If you know someone who is on parole or probation in Massachusetts, the most accurate way to find out is to contact the Department of Correction’s Parole Board. The Board does not have public records of people who are on parole or probation, but they can tell you whether an individual is currently under their supervision. You can contact the Parole Board by visiting the Massachusetts Parole Board website. On the website, you can find a contact form to fill out. You will need to submit the full name, residential address, and birth date of the person in question. In the message field, you can provide any additional information that may help the Board to confirm or deny whether the person is under their jurisdiction. When you make an inquiry with the Board, it is important to keep in mind that they may not be able to respond right away. The Board is extremely busy and responses may take several weeks to receive. Furthermore, the Board may not be able to provide the information you are seeking due to the confidentiality of criminal records. It is also important to remember that the Parole Board is only responsible for supervising people who have been released from prison and are on parole or probation. If someone has not been convicted of a crime, it is unlikely that you will find this information through the Parole Board.
