PROBATION VIOLATIONS
Probation is a court-ordered sanction imposed on a criminal defendant for a period of supervision by either the court or corrections. Probation may be imposed as an alternative to jail time, in conjunction with jail time, or as a part of conditional release.
Probation is imposed for four reasons: to deter defendants from committing further criminal behavior, to punish defendants, to help provide reparation to any victims and their communities, and to provide defendants with opportunities for rehabilitation.
A violation can result in the court revoking your probationary term. This type of probation revocation is typically a last resort used only after rehabilitation efforts have failed. If the court finds that you did violate probation, and that rehabilitation efforts have failed, the court may either impose a jail sentence on you or impose additional probation conditions. Probation conditions may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Have no same or similar offenses.
- Remain law-abiding.
- No use of drugs and alcohol (unless prescribed).
- Complete a certain number of community service hours or sentence to service days.
- Have no contact with any victims in your case.
- Pay restitution to any victims in your case.
- Complete drug, alcohol, or mental health programming.
- Report regularly to your probation officer.
- Submit to random drug testing.
- Electronic home monitoring.
