A factor here most people aren't aware of is that it's common for probation and parole to include 'supervision fees' charged to the probationer or parolee. These can supposedly be waived in the case of someone not being able to afford them, but it's not unusual for judges to decide that any living situation short of literally living on the street (and sometimes even then) means the fees are 'affordable'.
