What are the rights of someone on parole or probation in another state?

When someone is on parole or probation in another state, they are still subject to certain rights and responsibilities. In South Carolina, parolees and probationers have the right to be informed as to what their obligations are, as well as the right to request and receive help from their supervising agency. They must abide by any and all conditions set by the court and comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Parolees and probationers have the right to receive written notice of any new rules or conditions that are imposed on them. They also have the right to contact their supervising officer to discuss any concerns that they may have about the process. Additionally, they have the right to be represented by an attorney, either public defender or one they retain on their own, in any hearings or other proceedings. Parolees and probationers must meet with their assigned probation or parole officer on a scheduled basis and must keep that office informed of their current address or any changes thereto. They must also report any arrests or other criminal activity to their officer. Failure to do so may result in legal action being taken against them. Furthermore, those on parole or probation must follow any conditions or restrictions of probation or parole, such as having to comply with a curfew, drug testing, paying fines, and attending counseling or treatment. If the parolee or probationer fails to do so, they may face sanctions including jail time, community service, or additional penalties. Finally, they must not commit any criminal offenses while on parole or probation. Doing so may result in a violation and a revocation of parole or probation.
