Is it possible to have the stipulations of parole changed?
A band member of mine is on parole and not allowed in a bar, and the parole officer said she would send him back to prison if he plays a bar. Is It possible to change a stipulation of his parole so he can enter bars? We are serious musicians, the rest of the band has very clean records.

If your band member is under a parole order where he cannot enter a bar (drinking establishment) under any conditions, there is a possibility that a petition to change the conditions prohibiting his entrance into a bar could be successful.
In order to determine the likelihood of success and the costs for filing such a petition as well as hearing it, I recommend that your friend consult with a criminal defense attorney who is experienced in parole and probation issues. Key to the request is that entry into the bar is part of work where perhaps a condition of no drinking of alcohol or the use of controlled substances would be a condition as well for the revised parole order request.
