If you’re facing a violation of your parole, it is crucial that you retain a parole violations criminal defense attorney with the proper experience in order to avoid additional penalties or further incarceration.
Parole violations have nothing to do with the sentencing judge. To understand parole violations, you must understand that, when serving time in jail or prison, defendants usually receive “good time” or diminution credits for good behavior and programs in which they participate while incarcerated.
As a result of these credits, an individual may be released prior to having served his/her full executed sentence, should the parole board grant them early release, otherwise known as “parole.”
Once released on parole, a defendant must still maintain good behavior until his/her parole is completed, otherwise his/her poor behavior may be reported by his/her parole agent to the Parole Board. And a parole retake warrant may be issued for the defendant’s arrest.
A defendant will often be on parole and probation at the same time, as his/her probation does not begin until the defendant is released from jail or prison (or serves the maximum term of their executed sentence).
In these circumstances, the defendant’s supervising agent for both parole and probation will often be the same person.
Parole hearings are held at the jail or prison whereas probation hearings are held in a court before the sentencing judge, and each requires an experienced attorney who understands how these two different types of hearings work.
