Ugh! My computer is running so slow today, so I was late with my post above. Thank you for this gitana1! That makes perfect sense now!
Your welcome. The article I cited is one of the best I have read on this case. It gives a lot of info. Apparently, the terms of probation, although not released, allow for unsupervised probation, meaning they do not have to check in with probation officers, and they are allowed unlimited travel.
However, should the violate any law, they could be given a 21 year sentence, so they really need to toe the line. No DUIs, no thefts, no domestic violence incidents, fights with others, hit and run accidents, resiting arrest charges, etc., etc.
I listed those things because those are crimes I have seen many released, former prisoners committing. Without a lot of hardcore emotional support from family, friends and professionals, as well as financial support - jobs, etc., they could easily get into trouble and fast.
This is a brand new world they have to adjust to after 18 years of no professional assistance in adjusting to release. Scares me.
