You need to speak with your parole officer. He will know how to arrange for transfer of your parole. But as you are aware this is a discretionary matter; they don't have to automatically grant it. Your PO could deny such a transfer or the other state could. If your PO is willing possibly they could put a call into the jurisdiction that you want to transfer to and get some idea as to whether or not the other state would be willing; or you could just apply for the transfer and see what happens.
When giving a reason as to why you want a transfer it will more likely be granted if you are transferring to pursuing a better job opportunity, or to obtain specialized medical treatment, or to be with family. Something along those lines.
