“I understand that the parole officers, they have to do what they have to do,” Brantley, who struggles with heroin addiction, says in this excerpt from “Life on Parole,” a collaborative documentary from FRONTLINE and The New York Times. “But I was happy. I was home … I just wanted to stay close to the people that I love and feel protected.”

The documentary follows Brantley and three other former prisoners in Connecticut as they navigate the challenges of more than a year on parole — from finding work, to staying sober, to parenting — while under intense supervision from the state.
