Maryland's parole supervision fee a barrier to reentry
"Nearly two decades after the enactment of the [parole] supervision fee, there is a growing awareness of the substantial barriers that persons leaving prison face when they attempt to reenter society. A body of research, much of which has focused on the Baltimore area, has confirmed that persons leaving prison face significant hurdles in obtaining employment, housing and other social services. Many individuals also face financial burdens from staggering child support arrears, drug and alcohol testing fees, and, in some cases, fees for participation in drug treatment and other programs that are conditions of their parole. In short, the parolees from whom the state seeks to subsidize its coffers are often struggling to get by at the most basic levels."
