Teaching Offenders to Live Program
This law creates a Teaching Offenders to Live Program (TOLP), which will provide treatment and relapse-prevention services and prepare incarcerated individuals for independent living. The law also requires eligible individuals who violate conditions of their parole to participate in TOLP prior to their revocation hearing. The Department of Corrections may advocate for parole violators who graduate from the program to remain under community supervision rather than be reincarcerated.Learn more at
