Understanding Probation and Parole Violations and How We Can Help
Probation and parole violations occur when an individual fails to comply with the terms and conditions set by the court or parole board. These violations can result in severe consequences, including additional penalties, extended supervision, or even incarceration. Understanding the complexities of probation and parole violations is crucial to protecting your freedom and future.
How Probation and Parole Violations Are Determined
Violations of probation or parole are determined based on factors such as:
Failure to Meet Conditions:
This includes missing scheduled meetings with a probation or parole officer, failing to attend required programs, or not completing community service.
New Criminal Offenses:
Committing a new crime while on probation or parole is a serious violation that can lead to additional charges and revocation of release.
Positive Drug or Alcohol Tests:
Testing positive for prohibited substances can lead to a violation report and potential penalties.
Traveling Without Permission:
Leaving the designated area without prior approval from a supervising officer can be considered a violation.
Failure to Pay Fines or Restitution:
Not fulfilling financial obligations imposed by the court can lead to legal consequences.
