Share this article NEW YORK, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- New REFORM Alliance CEO Robert Rooks today announced Give Life Back, a campaign to inform, inspire, and activate people to become part of the growing movement to transform the parole and probation system in the United States. As part of the campaign, a thought provoking 90-second film titled Technically Illegal* was released, providing a look into the 'probation trap.' REFORM Alliance - Technically Illegal* Every four minutes, someone on supervision is sent to prison, not for committing a new crime, but because of a technical violation of a parole or probation term. The current system allows people to be locked up for the most minor and non-criminal violations of those rules, such as being broke and not able to pay a bill, picking up kids from school or an event in a different county, seeing a loved one who is also on probation or parole, or running an errand past curfew.
