Normally, those on home confinement are only allowed out of their residence for gainful employment and medical emergencies. They are required to call their probation officer on a least a weekly basis to update their schedules. Offenders on probation, supervised release, federal parole or pretrial diversion are subject to a number of financial, statutory, standard and, in most cases, special conditions. Fines or restitution are examples of financial conditions typically ordered. Statutory conditions require anyone released on federal supervision to contact the nearest U. S. Probation Office within 72 hours, prohibit them from committing another local, state or federal crime and orders them not to possess any illegal controlled substances.
Restrictive conditions govern travel, alcohol use, firearm possession and associations.
Reporting conditions require prompt notification to the probation officer about changes in residence, employment, arrests or other police contacts. Special conditions normally require offenders to participate in treatment programs for substance abuse, mental health and sex offenders. They are required to do so within 30 days after their release and on an annual basis thereafter. For more information about who must register, what offenses are included, etc.
