Committee grants parole to Hunter Palmer conditioned on completing DOC substance-abuse program
Summary
Hunter Palmer was granted parole June 10, 2025, contingent on completing a DOC‑approved substance‑abuse program before release and reporting to his grandparents on return to the community.
Hunter Palmer (DOC #624628) appeared before the Committee on Parole on June 10, 2025. Palmer acknowledged a history of probation revocations and said addiction had been a primary driver of his repeated supervision failures.
Panel members questioned Palmer about prior missed opportunities for drug court and what would be different now. Palmer said he had completed multiple in‑custody classes and that, since incarceration, he had worked to improve his decision‑making. Facility staff reported no disciplinary problems and that Palmer held steady employment in custody.
After questioning, panel member Mister Byron moved to grant parole on the condition that Palmer complete an approved DOC substance‑abuse program before release. The motion received concurrence from Mrs. Stapleton and the full panel. Palmer said he planned to live with his grandparents in Washington Parish and had family support and temporary work prospects while he sought to return to his shipyard position.
The committee recorded the conditional parole and instructed staff to place Palmer in the required substance‑abuse program and to document completion before discharge.
