Question

2. Joan is being released from jail on the condition that she enter a drug treatment program. She contacts Recovery Center to determine whether she is eligible for their program. They tell her she is not eligible, and she informs her Parole Officer of their decision and looks for services at other facilities. Her parole officer, then contacts Recovery Center and asks whether Joan has actually contacted them. Recovery Center informs Mark that she has. Is this a permissible disclosure?

Answer 1

Answer:

I would say yes.

Explanation:

People being released from jail are on a strict probation. Her parole officer is completely in the right to ask the recovery center if she has actually contacted them.

Some people being released may attempt to not do their conditions, so Mark was in the right.

Have a great day!
