For some crimes there is an automatic parole period involved after prison sentence is over.
Because being in prison, doesn't work and many go back to the same or similar crime commiting as before. By letting the police know where he is living they can find him if similar type crimes are being committed again. It is sort of a graduating step to freedom.
He must comply to various rules for the entire parole time. No guns, no illegal activity and may have to undergo drug testing.
The law is strict. Most of us obey the laws. The people who break laws tend to do it over and over.
Best of luck, it is good he has a friend like you.

In my state, if a person serves his full sentence in prison, they are realeased without parole supervision. However, that rarely happens, since, due to prison overcrowding, the prisons almost always grant parole before the end of the full sentence.
Your state may have different laws, and I would suggest that your friend discuss this with his PO. I can assure you that PO's don't want to supervise someone unless they are required to do so. If he doesn't get a satisfactory answer from the PO, he may wish to contact an attorney for advice.

Doing time is always followed up with a certain amount of time checking in with a PO. Its the law!
Usually, if your friend isn't a prick, you can go a few times for maybe 10-15 minutes just to check in. If your friend isn't messing up there should be no problem and the PO will sign off on it. The more fuss you put up about it the more the PO makes you come.

There could be a VERY GOOD REASON the courts seem to think your friend needs to be on parole. NO his rights are NOT being violated.

Parole always follows jail, unless your friend is deported. Having been in jail, I am sure your friend knows how his rights are violated every day and the immoral things that are done. Make sure your friend understands what he is and is not allowed to do- because a violation of parole will put him back in jail.
A friend of my dad's was on parole and when his parole officer came to check on him (as he does every week) it happend to be the day after my dad's friend's mom had died. He yelled "get the f*ck out of here!" because he was grieving for his mom- and they put him back in jail for 9 months. Fair? I think not.

Every time somone is released from prison, they are on Parole. They do this so that they can check on you for the time to see if you are not still messing up in life. It is perfectly normal.

Maybe it is to just cover an adjustment period to make sure he is handling life outside of prison.

His rights are not being violated. They can insist that he report or get locked up again.

That sounds like there was some sort of mistake in their processing his sentence. He can call any criminal lawyer but if he doesn't have the money I think he can call a public defender.

Are you sure he isn't on PROBATION? They also have to visit their PROBATION officers to make sure they are working, not doing drugs, not drinking, living where they are supposed to, etc.
