I Live in Idaho, and was convicted of 3 burglary felonies in 2008, and was sentenced to a "boot camp" instead of jail, because I offered to pay restitution and testify, but given probation until 2017. I recently moved to Boise County and transferred to a PO in my area. I have been unemployed since last year when my Employer went out of business, but I have been attending college full time since last spring.
My father lives in another county (just one county over), and these are the "new rules" my new PO is stating I must comply with. 1) I can only go visit my Dad for 2 days max. 2) I am not allowed to work in any area that is not in my jurisidiction( meaning Boise County only), 3) If I do not get a job soon, I will have to quit school.
I am going to school and living off School Grants & Student Loans, I am current on my restitution, and have never ever had one parole violation or problem I am clean & sober, attend AA meetings, go to church, and am just trying to make my life better. Does my PO have the right to impose these restrictions on me? What are my rights? It seems like he is trying to set me up to fail.

Your rules are the rules set by the court.

Normally you are free to travel anywhere in the state and only need permission to travel out of state.

If you "stay" somewhere too long it would be considered living and would need permission.

Normally you may work anywhere in state as long as you do not have to move where you live, and then just have to notify them that you have moved to a new address

... 1) I can only go visit my Dad for 2 days max., ...

I don't understand it, but I think the PO can enforce this one.


... 2) I am not allowed to work in any area that is not in my jurisidiction( meaning Boise County only), ...

If you find a job in another county, ask to transfer your probation there.


... 3) If I do not get a job soon, I will have to quit school. ...

No that one seems odd. Perhaps the PO is worried that if you spend all your grants and loans you will revert to a life of crime.
