(1) Residence in a community rehabilitation or work release center.
(2) Restitution to a victim of the crime for which release is being sought, if such victim has suffered a direct pecuniary loss as a result of the crime.
(3) Community service work, as determined by the supervisor.
(4) Payment into a victim compensation or service fund.

(6) Continuing education or vocational training.

(8) Defraying the cost, or any portion thereof, of his supervision by making payments to the supervisor in a sum and manner to be determined by the supervisor, based on his ability to pay.
(9) Any other condition which may be applied under R.S. 15:574.4(H) to a prisoner committed to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections who is released on parole.
D. A prisoner released in accordance with this Section shall be subject to having the release revoked for violation of the release conditions. The supervisor shall establish rules and regulations governing the revocation of release.
