Parole revocation that results in re-incarceration or other restrictions on a parolee's liberty is designed to punish the parolee for the new violation--not the underlying conviction, despite the fact that it is the conviction offense that establishes the authority of parole administrators to revoke parole and re-incarcerate.
This will involve helping the parolee acquire job training, job, and social skills by recommending the appropriate resources.
Referrals were made if the parolee had a history of mental illness (usually indicated by the receipt of mental health services while in prison) or if the parole agent perceived that the parolee showed signs of mental instability.
