Does a prisoner have to accept parole when it is granted?
No. Parole will have many different conditions attached to it, usually put into place by the parole board and approved by the trial court that initially imposed the sentence. Prisoners must be told what all of the conditions of their release will be before being placed on parole. If they do not like the conditions, and do not want to abide by them, they are free to reject the offer of parole.
