Parole violation was for not attending required educational meeting and checking in with parole officer. This person has no history of any violent crimes. Had tested + for marijuana in the past. - Is this your question? Add additional information

Respectfully, this does appear to be a duplicate of the question Mr. Dane and I both answered at http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/why-would-a-parole-officer-oppose-residential-drug-93823.html since there is no new information added to this question, I cannot add anything to my original answer. Good luck.
