can a drug offender on probation hang out with another offender on probation?

Your daughter needs to re-read the terms and conditions of her probation.  It's a standard term of probation that the probationer is not allowed to have contact with anyone on probation or parole unless it is an immediate family member.  \n\nAnother standard term is that the probationer is not allowed to consume alcohol or any controlled substance unless legally prescribed for them, not is the probationer to associate with anyone using alcohol or a controlled substance.\n\nDoes your daughter want to be revoked so that she can serve the rest of her term in jail?  I hope her PO is doing urine screens every week on her.

Most drug offenders who are sent to prison are either convicted of Class B offenses (e.g. the sale of any amount of cocaine, regardless of how small) or are second felony offenders convicted of offenses in Classes B-E. The Drug Law Reform Act commendably expands the sentencing options for a first-time Class B offense to include a split sentence of prison and probation. But the lowest sentence that could be imposed on a second felony offender convicted of a Class B felony is a sentence of two and one-half to five years in prison, unless the offender is eligible for diversion to a substance abuse treatment program. In many cases, such a prison sentence would be excessive, yet the Act does not permit a shorter sentence. Nor does it permit alternatives to incarceration for offenders who are not addicted and do not qualify for substance abuse treatment programs. \n\nIf mandatory prison terms are to be retained, the Act should be amended to further reduce the minimum sentences, giving judges a wider sentencing range from which to select the appropriate sentence.

Probation is a sentence ordered by a judge, usually instead of, but sometimes in addition to, serving time in jail. It allows the convicted person to live in the community for a specified period of time, sometimes under the supervision of a probation officer, depending on the circumstances and the seriousness of the crime.\n\nParole is the conditional release of a prison inmate after serving part (if not all) of his or her sentence, allowing the inmate to live in the community under supervision of the parole period. The decision to grant parole is the responsibility, in a majority of states, of a board of parole or commission. Violation of the conditions of parole result in revocation and re-imprisonment.

If I am not mistaken, you are assigned a probation officer for a certain period of time and must meet with him/her regardless of whether your community service is completed or not.  You have no options if you don't want to get in even more serious trouble.

some state jurisdictions will allow you to be a probation officer with an AA/AS.  You an also work in the jails with that degree for the Sherrif's office in most jurisdisdictions.

Wow!  People here sure are judgemental.  I bet that's only the case when it's not them in the hot-seat, though.  Anyways, you'll have to refer to the sentencing guidelines for when you were sentenced.  If you fail to participate in community service, which is a violation of your probation, they can place you in jail, and depending on the nature of your offense, either keep you there until your probation officer sees fit, or they can revoke your probation and re-sentence you which could mean you get to go to prison.  Then you'll have to worry about parole instead of just probation.  Either way, I'd say it's just easier to do the community service - or find someone to sign off on your community service hours to "say" you did it.  =)\n\nGood luck!

It's a probation hold warrant, not a regular warrant. They do not have to give her bail (bond). Keep in mind, she is out on probation in lieu of being in jail on her original offense. She could be fully violated and have to serve the rest of her original sentence.\n\nWhether or not someone poses a "threat" to someone else has no bearing on placing a hold on her. It has to do with meeting the requirements of her probation. (I beg to differ about a meth addict not being a threat to anyone. The rage I've seen some of them get in is scary.)\n\nI imagine she has failed to perform some requirement of her probation (like failing to go to rehab) or committed some new crimes while on probation.

More specifics please.  It varies from state to state.  Is this the person's first time for a drug felony?  In many states the first and or second time for simple possession charges the court will offer a plea agreement.\n\nIn Arizona most first time drug offenders are offered a "Diversion Program".  This includes regular drug testing, counseling, 12 step program participation, etc.  It is used in conjuction with a probation period of one to three years.  \n\nFurther, the court will sometimes offer to make it an "undesignated felony".  In other words, if you complete the program, you will not have a felony conviction on your record.  The program is used to educate individuals, and stop illegal drug use before you end up in more legal situations.\n\nHopefully your state offers such a program.  It gives you a second chance not to become a convicted felony for the rest of your life.  And maybe, just maybe, it will stop you from being a drug addict too!  Good luck.

Sounds like your friend may go back to prison.  If he has not paid his probation fees, then more than likely he was not reporting.  If that is the case, then his probation will probably be revoked.  By the way, it does not appear as if this person is interested in getting his life together, so in my opinion, he probably does need to go back to prison.

Yes, in most states if he is off probation he can marry the woman he loves. They both want to make certain that they are following the law of the state in which they live. These laws are changing daily and are very confusing. If he is still on probation, he will have to have permission from the court and his therapist.

One of the standard conditions of probation is that the probationer gives up their rights against search and seizure.  We are allowed to search the probationers' homes at any reasonable time.  We can also search their vehicles, work lockers, and school lockers.  If a probationer refuses to allow the probation officers to search, the probationer is in violation of their probation, and can face further sanctions.

Go to findlaw.com and research your states law for sexual assault. Chances are since he broke probation, he will have that time to actively serve too. It doesn't look good. Especially if they 'box-car' his sentences, meaning serving one before he can start another.

Depends...if its a drug felony, and you complete the sentence, then have proof of treatment for it(a letter from your shrink or something) then you ARE eligible. Violent felonies or grand theft may be different.

My son recently failed a drug test while on probation. It is his first violation of probation. He is in jail now and will be there for another 6 months waiting for a new public defender to be assigned to him and a hearing which is in Nov. The state is requesting he serve 20-30 months. Depending on what your crime was originally as well as the judge handling your case, will decide on what happens to you. If you were originally arrested for a drug crime, you will probably go to a drug rehab live-in facility. If your crime was not drug related, then you will probably serve time in jail. The length of time depends on the severity of the crime you were charged with and how many VOP's (violation of probations) you have had. My advise to you is to call your probation officer and inquire about going to a drug rehab. program and admit you have a problem. If you don't, he will just soon have you picked up anyways. It would look better for you to show you are wanting help of your own free will.

Share at the federal what?  I know that they share clients aka. inmates files, stipulaions on parole/probation offenders.  But I am sorry I really am only guessing as to what it is that you are asking.

They can violate his probation if they want to ( and most likley will)  If so what ever time is left on his probation will be spent in jail.

Your friend can request for a hearing before the judge and discuss this matter.  The probation officer probably had your friend sign a statement indicating that they had violated their probation to make it easier for revocation of the probation.
