I know here in Illinois, USA if your parole specifies treatment (e.g. sex counseling, criminal behavioral thinking counseling etc) then you can voluntarily skip all that by just spending half your parole time in prison and leave with no restrictions and no therapy.

This happens to a lot of inmates involuntarily because the prison system can't find anywhere to house them, so they are forced to keep them in prison and then release them with no help and no support.
