Vermont § 502b - Terms and conditions of parole

§ 502b. Terms and conditions of parole

• (a) When an inmate is paroled, the Parole Board shall establish terms and conditions of
  parole that it deems reasonably necessary to ensure that the inmate will lead a law-abiding
  life and that will assist the inmate to do so. Such terms and conditions shall be
  set forth in the parolee’s parole agreement. Terms and conditions of parole shall
  be designed to protect the victim, potential victims, and the public, and to reduce
  the risk of reoffense. Such conditions may include prohibiting the use of alcohol;
  prohibiting having contact with minors; prohibiting or limiting the use of a computer
  or other electronic devices; permitting a probation officer access to all computers
  or other digital or electronic media, mail covers, subscription services, and credit
  card statements; and if a probation officer has reasonable grounds to believe the
  offender has violated a parole condition, permitting a probation officer to monitor
  or examine the offender’s activities, communications, and use of any computer or other
  digital or electronic device, including cell phone, smartphone, digital camera, digital
  video camera, digital music player or recorder, digital video player or recorder,
  personal digital assistant, portable electronic storage device, gaming system, or
  any other contemporary device capable of the storage of digital electronic communication
  or data storage or access to the Internet or other computer or digital network. (b) The Parole Board may require a parolee as a condition of parole to participate, as
  a resident or nonresident, in programs at a treatment center for all or part of the
  period of parole, provided that the Commissioner certifies that adequate treatment
  facilities, personnel, and programs are available. If the Commissioner determines
  that the person’s residence in the center or participation in its programs, or both,
  should be terminated because the person can derive no further significant benefits
  from such residence or participation, or both, or because his or her residence or
  participation adversely affects the rehabilitation of other residents or participants,
  he or she shall so notify the Board, which shall thereupon make such other provision
  with respect to the person as it deems appropriate. (c) A person residing in and participating in programs at a treatment center shall abide
  by the rules and regulations of the center and may be required to pay such costs incident
  to residents as the Commissioner deems appropriate. (Added 1997, No. 148 (Adj. Sess.), § 61, eff. April 29, 1998; 2009, No. 1, § 47.)
