The Louisiana Committee on Parole reinstated the parole of Juan Joville Green (DOC 352460) on June 24, 2025, but imposed supervised placement and an ignition interlock after the board found Green violated supervision by drinking and being arrested in St. Tammany Parish.

Green told the panel he had been drinking the night of his arrest and pleaded not guilty with a statement on the underlying driving-related charge, saying the original DUI was later reduced to reckless operation in court. Supervising agent David Balfanz recommended adding an ignition interlock as a special condition if Green is returned to supervision: "If we return him to supervision, that we add interlock as a special condition to any vehicle he drives," Balfanz said.

The board heard from Green’s supporter, Brenda Hurston, who asked for a second chance, and from Green himself, who acknowledged the violation and described his mental health and medical-marijuana use. Green said he takes citalopram for anxiety and depression and that the drinking incident was a lapse: "I will admit I had had a drink that night," he told the panel. Parole member discussion focused on whether substance use signaled a need for treatment and whether revocation was required.

Board member Miss LeDoux (assigned to the case) said she believed Green had violated parole conditions but was not ready to revoke. Instead, the committee voted to reinstate parole with conditions: placement in a transitional work program for six months and a requirement that any vehicle he operates have an ignition interlock device. The panel also instructed Green to participate in any available classes while on supervision.

The board’s action is a supervisory decision rather than a judicial change; the committee framed the outcome as returning Green to community supervision with stricter conditions, not as a judicial sentence modification. The committee concluded the hearing by reiterating the conditions and informing Green that his parole had been reinstated under those terms.

Green’s parole reinstatement ends this hearing; the board recorded the outcome and moved to the next case.
