Is it against the law in Idaho for a parole officer to lie to their parolees?

Question by Stephanie: Is it against the law in Idaho for a parole officer to lie to their parolees?
ok really long story short: my sis was basically kidnapped once she got out of jail & was taken to Texas. She escaped, came home to CA. Her PO in Idaho started calling around, my sister got her number & called her. this was MONTHS after she got out of jail. the PO said get to Idaho by the next monday at 4pm & she would be able to return to CA that night, all transfer stuff done. We drive up there get there at 11am, the po won’t see her until 4 so we go get a drug test done &make a police report on the guy. When she goes back to the PO, the PO starts threatening to take her to jail throwing her arrest warrant in her face etc. The PO decides against jail time but says she has to stay in idaho (by law) until the transfer goes through. She sets my sis up in a women’s shelter for that night & then a sober living home for the next 45 days. That night while my sister was in the women’s shelter the PO came and arrested her, saying my sis lied to her.

Was it legal for the PO to lie?

Its my understanding, that they will use any means they can to get you to comply.

I am not sure it is legal, but can you prove it. If you can prove, in some way, that she had knowledge of the events, and told her in good faith she would help her out, and then didn’t, you may be able to go to the POs supervisor, and see if something can be done.

As it stands now, your sister is still under the control of the State, and a judge will determine if she goes back, and stays in jail.
