This is a paradoxical aspect of the parole system. If someone is granted parole, they must agree to state supervision of them for as long as the state deems it important. Random drug tests, access to their bank accounts, reporting any gang member may may contact and reporting to the parole board periodically are but 4 examples of the kind of supervision that can be required, So if a perceived dangerous criminal is considered too risky for parole after say ¾ of his sentence has been served, her serves the other ¼ and then is totally free and may not be supervised. He can move wherever he wants, do any kind of work he wanted and hank out with whoever he wants and the state can do nothing. If he had been granted parole he could be monitored and supervised as long as the state thinks it necessary.
