How Prevalent Is Hair Testing in Probation/parole Cases?
Question by chazzychef: How prevalent is hair testing in probation/parole cases?
Hair testing for signs of drug/alcohol abuse. I am aware that urinalysis/breath testing is quite common to determine an offender’s history of use/abuse, but is hair testing ever used?

Currently, hair testing is the most foolproof test, but also the most expensive to administer. It is not used in Ohio for that reason. To the best of my knowledge, there is no plan in effect to bring that on line anytime in the future either. I hope this helps you.

It is rarely used. I have worked in several probation depts. Urine screening is the typical procedure. SOMETIMES blood tests are done. I’ve never worked at a probation dept that did hair testing.
