"Implicit in the very nature of supervised release is that certain conditions are necessary to effect its purpose." United States v. Truscello, 168 F.3d 61, 62 (2d Cir. 1999). "A sentencing court may impose special conditions of supervised release that are reasonably related to certain statutory factors governing sentencing," including "the need to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant." United States v. Gill, 523 F.3d 107, 109 (2d Cir. 2008) (internal quotation marks omitted). "A district court retains wide latitude in imposing conditions of supervised release, and we therefore review a decision to impose a condition for abuse of discretion." United States v. MacMillen, 544 F.3d 71, 74 (2d Cir. 2008).
