The same as out of Court. Someone who is released from prison before they serve their entire sentence is on "parole" for the remainder of their sentence. For example if someone sits in jail for 6 months on a Felony Stealing charge and gets sentenced to 5 years then they go to prison. The 6 months they sat in jail counts towards their sentence. So if they do 2yrs in prison then get released on parole they are on parole the remainder of their sentence or 2.5 years.

Been on parole for 3 years in Alaska just got a dirty for pot no other violations what can i expect from parole officer?

Parole Officer can file a request with the court to have your parole revoked. You will be required to appear in court, will be appointed an attorney if necessary, and the Parole Officer will admit evidence to prove the violation. The court can revoke your parole and you can be required to serve the balance of the prison sentence (if originally imposed). It is likely that the court will continue the parole terms in your case, and require you comply with additional terms. Recommendation is to enroll yourself in a drug rehabilitation program prior to any court hearings.
