Sorry, they are deprived of liberty by due process of law. As long as they are a parolee, they are still serving their sentence. It is a reward for good behavior given at the discretion of the people.

If a parolee doesn’t like the conditions, then he can simply not apply for parole and sweat the rest of the sentence out in jail.

There is no right to parole.

They are deprived of certain liberties by due process of law and paroled under terms and conditions of supervision.

For a parolee to live in fear that any law enforcement officer and not just their parole agent, can search their house at any time should be unacceptable.

What if there are other people living in the house? Should their rooms, bags, laundry, cabinets, safes, etc be subject to search? That is how far LEO will go and who could blame them?

How are they to know which room belongs to the subject parolee?

How are they to know what property belongs to whom?

How are they to know if someone has a valid prescription for a medical condition and the parolee cohabitates with them but, does not take them?

Should the parolee be expected to live in a secluded tent or a dorm where it is absolutely certain whose dwelling it is?

If the answer is yes then just keep them in jail until their FULL sentence is completed and eliminate parole as an option.

Once they are out the government then would have no obligation to supervise the individual and we could just hope and pray the former inmate can find a way home or even find a way home and that they don’t residivate.
