The parole division is responsible for the oversight of parolees under the supervision of the SDDOC.

A parolee is an offender who is conditionally released from the physical custody of a state correctional facility before the expiration of the offender’s term of imprisonment. A parolee remains under the legal custody of the SDDOC until the expiration of the term of imprisonment.

The parole division promotes community safety through effective supervision of parolees, established conditions of release, and violation management.
