A major goal of parole is rehabilitation. See Griffin v. Wisconsin, 483 U.S. 868 , 107 S.Ct. 3164 , 97 L.Ed.2d 709 (1987); Latta v. Fitzharris, 521 F.2d 246 , 249 (9th Cir.1975) (“The overriding goal of the parole system is to give the parolee a chance to further and to demonstrate his rehabilitation while serving a part of his sentence outside the prison walls.”).
