Convicted gangster Jarrod Bacon expressed concerns earlier this year that being placed in a halfway house could put his life at risk.

But the Parole Board of Canada says the former Abbotsford man poses a 含羞草研究社渦ndue risk to society含羞草研究社� and he requires the 含羞草研究社渋ntensive supervision含羞草研究社� that such a residency requirement will meet.

Bacon, 33, left a Quebec prison last month on statutory release after being on a charge of conspiracy to traffic cocaine.

By law, most offenders (except those serving a life or indeterminate sentence) must be released from prison after serving two-thirds of their sentence, if parole has not already been granted.

The parole board determined that Bacon should be placed in a halfway house - the documents don含羞草研究社檛 indicate where 含羞草研究社� for the remainder of his sentence, rather than be monitored only by electronic surveillance, as he had requested.

Bacon said living in a halfway house would make it easy for former opponents to find and kill him.

含羞草研究社淵ou are not the first one with that type of criminal background called to face the issue,含羞草研究社� the parole board stated in its decision from mid-January. 含羞草研究社淚t is obviously a stressful situation; however, this is the direct result of choices you made in your life and you are the only one responsible for it.含羞草研究社�

In making its decision, the board detailed Bacon含羞草研究社檚 history, including his involvement with the Red Scorpions gang; his past use of drugs such as cocaine, pot, OxyContin and steroids; and his 含羞草研究社減otential for violence,含羞草研究社� such as a 2012 altercation with another inmate which left his opponent hospitalized with 含羞草研究社渟ignificant facial injuries.含羞草研究社�

The board also states in the documents that Bacon maintained connections with other gangsters while in prison and kept himself in a 含羞草研究社減osition of influence.含羞草研究社�

The documents also say that, on the plus side, Bacon mostly maintained a 含羞草研究社渃ompliant behaviour含羞草研究社� while in prison and had a 含羞草研究社減ositive and constructive attitude含羞草研究社� while taking correctional programs.

He participated in French courses, completed first aid training, and plans to take vocational training and search for work in the coming months.

His parents wish to support him 含羞草研究社渆motionally and financially,含羞草研究社� the parole board documents state.

But the board said despite Bacon含羞草研究社檚 assertions that he is planning to change his lifestyle, his 含羞草研究社減otential for violence is obvious.含羞草研究社�

Among the conditions placed on Bacon含羞草研究社檚 release are that he refrain from consuming non-prescription drugs, that he not enter establishments where alcohol can be purchased, and that he have his finances monitored to ensure he is not making 含羞草研究社渞apid and easy含羞草研究社� money from criminal ventures.

Bacon was originally , but that was increased to by the Crown.

His statutory release date came up so soon due to his receiving double credit for time already served prior to sentencing.

At the time of his 2009 arrest, he was living in Abbotsford and was part of the notorious Bacon brothers, who were running the Red Scorpions gang.

Jonathan Bacon was in Kelowna in August 2011, and brother Jamie is currently in prison in the Surrey Six murders.
