It seems like those are very easy terms to follow, that he agreed to.

If someone who did some serious stuff, couldn't follow easy terms, it is cause for concern.

Parole terms aren't usually up for negotiation. It's generally parole or stay in prison. You can agree to the terms offered, but it's a coercive agreement, so I wouldn't put much weight on the parolees agreement. That said, I agree the terms seem reasonable.

But even if you stay in prison for your full term, you're likely to have supervised release which has similar terms.

I've helped people released onto parole for years. It's tough. The terms might seem easy, but often aren't in practice. Most people have a history of addiction and/or mental illness and suddenly they are thrown into a world where everything is available for a price, and any medical help they were given is suddenly taken away and the life where everything was done for them (food cooked, clothes washed) is gone.

The majority are returned to prison within days/weeks/months of release.
