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?
