Legal Question in Criminal Law in Idaho

Parolee Prohibited from Contact with Wife

My husband was granted a parole date and told by the parole commissioners that he could have no contact with me for the duration of his parole (3 years) although he commited no crime against me, nor with me. I have no criminal history, and we have a legal marriage. Is this legal?

Re: Parolee Prohibited from Contact with Wife

The parole commission has broad authority to fashion an appropriate

condition for parole. Whether it was applied illegally in his case

is something I can't tell you without reviewing the reason for the

commission's decision.

There is nothing on its face that appears illegal.

YOu should contact the parole officer and find out the reason for

this particular condition.

Without more information, I can't answer your question further.

If you wanted me to represent him in this matter, I charge $120/hour

for the work I do and I usually require a retainer fee to start a case,

depending on your circumstances.
